from what i've seen it looks more like Asians are into Trance and Europeans are into Techno... not that you need to pigeonhole anyone into any specific genre. all kinds of people like all kinds of music.

This would be a good time for me to resurface again... Then again, funds are low...I might have to form the "Help Mike C" fund:(

my early prediction for the winner...the school teacher.

dunno...I never had the need...but as the old saying goes... RTFM!!! :laugh:

You can get ACDSee 5.0 I use an ancient version (2.4) but it's so good I never bothered upgrading...

I like ACDSee...I've been using it for years and it's the best graphic viewer (nearly all file types) and slideshow app I've ever used. Get it at http://www.acdsystems.com/

Final Scratch is a hardware/software solution and can be found at http://www.finalscratch.com/ . It goes for about $499 in stores. If you want software only, I like to use Visiosonic PCDJ Red. Fun stuff:D

it's like i was saying in another thread... It doesn't matter whether the music comes from vinyl, cd, mp3, someone's ass etc. Good music is good music. I want to pick up a Final Scratch kit so I can take that on the road with me, and I can reduce the number of vinyl I have to lug around. It's better to carry a laptop with 5000 tracks than trying to haul 5000 vinyls. And what's better than having a friend email you his brand new track or remix on MP3 just minutes after he finished it? I love vinyl, but let's face it, it's an old technology and there's a lot of really good CD and MP3 (whether you purchase or steal music is an entirely different issue) equipment out there. Now, we all know that using vinyl doesn't make you a better DJ. Mixing and track selection are still learned and mastered skills, regardless of the delivery method. I hear that Danny T uses like 95% CDs in his live sets...

Why should it matter? Good music is good music regardless of whether it comes on vinyl, cd, mp3, congo drum, etc. etc. I plan to pick up a Final Scratch kit so I can take that and my laptop with me in addition to my records when I have a gig. Better to carry a laptop w/ 5000 tracks stored than trying to haul 5000 vinyls.

I know I'll have to go cross-gender and choose Iliana for the Newman role. I despise her so much, yet she adds a much-needed comic balance to this board. If you think Quoth is really leaving here for school you're wrong. He's going to be my "Crazy Joe Devola":D Anyway, regarding Giant...that's up in the air...gotta see how my funds are, and who I'll be with. This year I am GHET-TO.

hmmm...I suppose a 5 hour flight would give me enough time to write up a pitch for the FOX network. I might have to recruit a few of you CP heads to fill the supporting roles. Using the "Seinfeld" model, who could be my... George (the neurotic one): Kramer (the bizarre one): Elaine (the cute smartass): Newman (the hated one):

I'm outta here. Off on a jet plane to L.A. tomorrow where I will enjoy the holidays and warm weather. I won't be back till some time in January, unless I am discovered and given my own sitcom, and in that case I'll never be back. I will definitely miss hanging out with the crew this NYE, cause we all know that last year at Vinyl was a good time:woah:. Make sure to do everything I wouldn't do! If any of you west coast people have any club suggestions, please PM me...I might be checking out Giant for NYE. peace and happy 2K3:D

In Photoshop, after reducing the size, use Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask... and try the following settings: Amount: 40% Radius: 1.1 pixels Threshold: 0 levels That will clean it right up. I do tons of photographing for the web so PM me if you have any more questions...

Just thought I'd share this... http://www.sepi.be/geekchicks/ Personally this one is my favorite: http://www.sepi.be/geekchicks/geekchick073.jpg

School. ugh. So glad those days are long over with... Good luck though!

There will never be a reason to be glad to live in NJ. Yeah, I know we'll be the first ones to get nuked, but still....

Good choice....all I gotta say is...one day I WILL have the Fujifilm S2...$2200!!

David Letterman always said something like "keep telling the joke over and over till it's not funny anymore and eventually it becomes funny again just because it's so unfunny." or something.

Always looking for an excuse to show my "ricer":rolleyes:

How bout you SHUT UP!

Somebody give this kid a lesson in sentence structure and punctuation!
