Duh, I see it now. We've been in WV for 8 years. No skydiving here. I did do the bridge tho'

As bad as I hate it, it's time to admit that it's time to quit.
Is there a "for sale" thread on here?

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I became a skydiver and really started acting like a child. But a hard opening,(broken back) a slippery set of stairs (broken femur) and arthritis have rendered me no longer fit to fly. I fought the idea of quitting for a long time. I'll keep my USPA membership but golf will have to do from now on. I'll post my gear for sell today.

About those "pointy" ends. Someone just did research on that and found that the bottoms are flat and the tops are round...so put that rumor away.

Not all AVIs are the same and you may very well have to download a Codec. My Win. Media player plays most tpyes of AVIs but then, I have many codecs enabled.

I bought a Canon Owl for $59 and a mini plug and socket from Radio shack for $3...spent 1/2 hour opening the camera and soldering in the remote wires and it works fine. T he focal length is just about perfect for a .5 to .6 wide angle. It's also very light. Will I get a 35 mm SLR later? Probably

Get a Sony DV camera if at all possible. There is a substantial difference in picture quality. My Digital 8 now serves as a VCR only and it's really good for that. I'm using a DCR-TRV20 and am very satisfied but I'd guess that the newer ones are even better. Note that almost all Videots use Sony and that should tell you something.
