    >Work???? Yes, I have heard this "work" mentioned in the tales of the elders.

    800x600. It's a laptop. A bit more(I think 1024x768) at work.

    Maybe they'll have an Internet-cafe or something there?

    And now it's marketed as new breakthrough invention... "This technology, formerly found only on high altitude, high-speed military systems is now available to everyone in the Icon." Older Atoms use the cotton webbing, newer ones, like my dom2002 Legend, use elastics.

    The glasses are probably the most important part of the fit. Like I mentioned in an earlier post today, I don't care much for wearing a mailbox on my head, but the same principles apply for goggle-users: When buying a new pair of glasses, alway take a pair of goggles with you to the optician. The glasses should be "low-profile" eg not get too far away from your face. Taking a fullface to the optician's might feel silly, but at least you don't have to do it too often... Many models of frames extend to the sides from the lenses. I haven't managed to fit any of these under my tube-goggles. The frame should turn directly backwards from the edge of the lense. Difficult to explain, here are a couple of examples: (edited for typo)

    The lines are stowed in the elastics? Like PdF gear has had since at least the mid-90s? Or something completely different? Sorry, having difficulties visualizing from your description... Any pics or drawings extremely welcome.

    According to an old and possibly inaccurate freefall table I have: After 5 seconds your speed will be 124 feet/second. After 5 seconds you will have fallen 366 feet.

    From the Aerodyne website: Does anyone have details of this? What's it like? Pictures?

    > in the UK you need a license to own a TV! I shit yeah not sir. Same here... It's a national sport among students and other "rebels" not to pay the license-fee... and then not answer the doorbell in the fear it might be the tv-license inspector!

    Get a powerdrill and make yourself a vent, if you feel like one is necessary. AFAIK all fullfaces can fog up sometimes. And don't listen to anything I say, I don't jump fullface helmets. Don't feel like jumping with a mailbox on my head.

    Atom Legend! You know they make gear outside the States too, don't you?

    If the posts are validated anything like in my forum and chat, the problem is that "illegal" characters like < and > are turned into entities < and > before the smilie codes are converted into smilies. Another thing I noticed when trying out the "new" features: There's no reason to wrap most of the new elements(, , , , , ) between s, they'll break lines by themselves. The additional s just make the post too "spacey". But of course Sangiro knew all that, it just isn't a high priority.

    I like my evil icon better though.
  14. ernokaikkonen
    New icon probably doesn't work because the > is changed into a > when the post is validated.

    [>:)] Excellent... (what's this, the new icon doesn't work?) There's a new icon I haven't seen You can make lists like this one one more bullet A paragraph of text can be indented.

    "brett willard" returns no less than 5 profiles here on DZcom... the ones where a canopy has been specified, it says "Icarus Extreme". That'll probably be an FX(7 cells*3=21) or a VX(9 cells*3=27). I haven't seen the Feb Skydiving.

    Last sunday was a nice sunny day with the temperature at -5C(23F). I jumped for the first time in 6 months, and landed half a km from my apartment, on a frozen lake... Not really much to do with your post, just wanted to say that that didn't suck at all.

    mwahahhaaa! I actually laughed out loud at "Blair: The translator would like to take your answer home with him and work on it over the weekend."...

    >ever used the Private Message option? With the amount of new posters the forums see every day these days, it's a good idea to remind them all about basic netiquette. Damn, my sig is so long I have to add this last sentence to keep up with the netiquette myself...

    >Dare I ask if anyone has experienced this?... Yup, many times, most often it has been the shadow of the airplane though.

    Birdman Inc. expressly states that you should not jump a wingsuit with a pull-out.
