Just think if some one does by a use Dash-8. It will probably be one previously used by an airliner. So more than likely the plane will have a bathroom for queasy students to run too. All(maybe some)Airlines are abandoning their Turbo Props for Regional Jets. So why not- if applicable- use them for sky diving. Soon, I think most of them will be basking in the sun at a BoneYard. I think a Saab340A might work as a jump ship. It is also a turbo prop, seat around 30 and has a nice size for a cargo door. http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=121542 just my opinion ^ ^ I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

Since the on going joke is about killing kittens. You must watch Will ferrells spoof on afternoon delight. There is one seen in music video where one of the anchorman from the movie "Anchorman" is holding a kitten durring the video. Any ways I thought it was funny http://launch.yahoo.com/artist/default.asp?artistID=1105224 if link doesnt work ya can watch on launch.com I like scotch! scotchy scotch scotch scotch John I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

I use opera and firefox. For some unknown reason I cannot remove internet exploder from my computer. When the browser wars first started some years ago. When Myyoursoft was throwing out its browser Internet exploder left and right taking over the market share from netscape. Why didnt AOL, who after spending a Billion dollars to buy the rights to netscape do nothing with it? Netscape was a proven browser at the time unlike internet exploder which was known to crash a lot. Why didnt AOL use IE instead of netscape as the default browser? I know most of it deals with Myyoursoft's strong arm practices. But I dont see any reason to buy something for a billion and not even use it once. I used to like netscape but not anymore because it was sold to Aol. The reason why I don't like it is because when you download it. Netscape attaches a bunch of Aol crap along with it.

Thanks to everyone. I know my post was very hard to read. I have just been a little frustrated lately. I did have a job up until december of last year. I wasn't laid off or anything but i did do something irrational. I just quit. One day, before work I just couldnt take it any more. I couldn't take going to my job. Where I had no room for advancement, No possibility of any kind of pay raise, plus the bosses had their favorites and I wasn't one of them. Should I have stuck with the job? Yes I know I should have but the job was taking too much out of me. I know the next job for me could be worst then the one i had, but i didn't want to sit in a job i hated and never take the chance to find something better for myself once again thanks, I am applying for part-time jobs. So I can have money get my Student loans back in good standing. then go out take more student loans and take a few English/writing classes >> I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

Im having sort of a crisis with debt collectors now while trying to find a job. From my job search I am beginning to realize "I don't know Jack" I have sent out dozen of resumes with not even any calls or interests. So the basic theme to my poll is when do you swallow your pride and take a job you wouldn't even had considered thinking about applying. I been having trouble finding a job for the last 6 months and about to take anything I can get. The debt collector are becoming vultures to me. Probably cause i don't return their calls. I know it stupidity but I m tired of telling these people "I dont have the money!" >> I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

I would pretty much put in what everyone has already mentioned. But here are two things I would add. A company in europe is selling Zeplins for private or commercial use. (I am not sure on the exact details) But from what I understand it can carry 12 people. The only down side I see to a zeplin is you propably cant use it in very high winds. My other idea for an ultimate drop zone is to build a 1000 ft plus radio tower and allow people to do legal base jumps from it. The tower would have all amenities at the base of tower- including an air conditioned packing area. The base tower would of course be atleast a mile from landing areas. So it will not interupt regular skydiving. just my 2 cents

Thank you...I am goign to try and look at some of the links to see which one would be best for me. Btw I did get my computer running in windows again. I went into safe mode and changed by the settings the way I had them. It solved proplem but my user profile had been erased. I do have 2 harddrives on my computer so Ill try to install two operating systems. If i find a linux i like then i will nix windows if i had the money to buy a mac i would but i rather spend 3-5k. I would rahter spend it at a tunnel camp/aff at perris or in deland fla. So I can finally get off of student status. but right now im unemployed looking a new career > I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

I am so sick of winblows. To start off I have windows xp. and thing Ive noticed that most computer problems people post here have to do with windows. my problem started when all I did was switch the memory usage in performance options. When i restarted the computer. it took forever and it eventually gave me a stop error. which is "0xc0000142". The so called xp manual say if you have internet access to search the stop error code on their website. luckily I have 2 computers and I do find a similar code on microsofts website. The only thing they can suggest is reinstall window xp. Now this might sound easy enough but the windows xp upgrade cd I owned was flemsy. It somehow got caught in my CD tray and literally shattered like glass in my cd rom drive. when the cd tray closed on it. I had to take my cd rom case apart to clean out the millions of cd fragment- ugh!!!!!!!! Right Now I dont have the money to spend on another winXp cd. again all i did was change somethings under performance options and it really preformed an option i really didnt want. I am being sarcastic on the free linux cd. I just needed to vent alittle. Anyone know the best linux os for an indermediate user? John >

Anyone remeber when one of there "lunatic" moonlanding debunkers. Demanded from a 70 something Buzz aldrin to prove he actually walked on the moon. It pissed buzz of show much he decked the guy who was much younger. Truthfully I would of decked the guy too. Anyways it gave me a good laugh at the time >>>> I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

A sure hope eli has a number of bad years in new york. I think it shows his maturity compared to his brother peyton. I dont really remeber but did peyton whine when he was drafted by a lowly indianapolis colts? A now have no respect for the manning family and hope the trade with the gaints turn out to be an albatross for eli and the chargers make the best what they got in their trading brat manning I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........
