And then I'll be spending $300 on each of the four exam modules that are required to practice here.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-24-2011 07:07 PM                        New keyboard and mouse: Unicomp 101 key USB keyboard - Unicomp bought out the production facility that made the much-loved IBM Model M bucking-spring keyboards through the mid 1990s. The new ones are made to the same specifications on the same equipment and feel just as good. And, yes, they are still loud. I bought the 101-key USB version, but they also sell a 104-key version with Windows or Mac keys. You can also get them with PS/2 or AT connectors. I actually wanted the Linux layout, but that is only available in PS/2 and the machine with which I am using it is USB-only They are not cheap at $79, but I am entirely sick of the crappy mushy-feeling $5 keyboards that everyone seems to be using now. HP USB 3-button optical mouse This is the only 3-button USB optical mouse that I could find that does not have a scroll wheel (which I dislike). It is a bargain at $12. I did not buy any laserdiscs.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-24-2011 08:06 PM                     Scott, what happened?

Maybe I should have bought a VT220 instead.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Kane Film Handler Posts: 74 From: corpus christi, tx Registered: Jun 2011 posted 07-25-2011 10:31 AM                     A Medical Nikkor lens. Awesome for close-up work and fine details. Just hoping the integral ring-flash doesn't die on me, no replacement parts exist!! An RS232-USB converter, 'cause Planar didn't bother putting a USB connection on the PD8150 and firmware updates MUST be via serial! Standing on the top of an 8' ladder jacking with a laptop/converter/serial cable is NO fun with a hangover. 'Specially not with projector exhaust in your face... A new 120-100v step-down transformer for the LD player and MUSE decoder. Old one was starting to hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Not good!  |  IP: Logged Jeff Kane Film Handler Posts: 74 From: corpus christi, tx Registered: Jun 2011 posted 08-12-2011 10:32 AM                     'Cause it's not out on Blu-Ray yet.  |  IP: Logged
