No more Relative Workshop...

[htrammel 0]

I thought relative work was when you couldn't go to the DZ because you had family in town. "Can't jump, I gotta do relative work."
Name it what you want Bill. A rose by any other name...

So, did anyone change your mind or do we dial 800 UPT JUMP?

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Magnetic riser covers and spacer foam!!! I so want a micron now! It is going to be hard to buy a new container and it not come from Ankie at wings but from what i see with Micron, magnet riser covers, that spacer foam and Skyhook, what container could possibly beat a Micron... ?

Wow, Bill, never have i seen a rig before that has turned me off wings.

Is there anyway to get a demo container with all these mod cons to jump over here in the UK?

You out there Mark?? Hook me up!!
Would love to demo this container!

(hopefully self-explanatory?)

What would happen if the beard went away......




oh the horror

It is interesting how many people associate the beard and Bill as a single entity. You might be surprised to know that he had no beard when he started the shop and no beard when I left his shop in early 1975 (about 125 rigs sold at that time). I'm sure Pam (Pam Tayon rented Bill her garage as a workshop for the first Wonderhogs) has a photo of the clean shaven Bill somewhere, but I think Bill has paid her to not let it out

And to Bill, whatever you call your shop, you are still the man when it comes to rig inovation!

I personally would have voted for The Uninsured Relative Workshops, but that's just me :p

There are pictures of a beardless Bill hanging proudly in the conference room here at United Parachute Technologies. He does not hide them. Come by the shop for a tour and I'll show them to you.

Hi Mark,

It was just a joke (except the part about everyone associating him and the beard, not many have seen him without that are still around)...

But thanks for the invite; I've never been through the shop there and I'm sure you have more than 1 734 and 1 single needle machine these days

I go through the Deland area a few times a year, but never seem to have the time to stop. I'll see what I can do about that.

I am not exactly sure what redglue2.com has to do with the website (it has a copyright notice at the bottom of the home page, so I am assuming they did the design), but why the title of the home page reads "redglue2.com - Home"?!?

There are also other flaws in the website, like some text overlaping (I am using 800x600 resolution, just like some governemt with millions of dollars to spend might), not being able to save pdf files in order to open them from the desktop or to email them. "Streaming" pdfs takes a loooong time and you can not browse a website during that time...

There are also some punctuation and grammar mistakes.

I never understood how the companies can play with their image so lightly... I found all these errors in less than 5 minutes of browsing. Same will happen with some foreign government looking for someone to give them millions of dollras in contracts. If the company seems careless about building a website (punctuation, grammar, text overlapping, wron page title, etc) is it also careless about bulilding life saving equipment, making sure the right webbing is used, etc, quality control, manufacturing process, inspection...? Something to think about for UPT...

Also, is it just me, or does the website have a "teenager" feel...?

Now you went and made them mad, the site is now down, must be fix'n it.
Did see any bad stuff, but I was looking at the new cool tandem photos.

They also left the Vector Coloring Program off the website.

Probably b/c they were test launching it. Perhaps they have outside reviewers of the content or something. My guess is they took it down so that impatient skydivers won't do what the gentlemen above you did and critique it before it was "ready" to be. Just my 2c.
