Come on out and check the chat room this Saturday and lets see if we can get some people together...chat with REEL ;-) projectionists in their natural environment(s). Just press on the changeover pedal and come on in!Perhaps Film-Tech could have regular chat times (for irregular people!).
Brad, would it be possible to modify the main greeting to show if the chat room is in use?

Unfortunately the program is not capable of notifying if there are any people in the chat room until you are IN the chat room. Pick a specific time for the chat and post it here. Let's see how the turnout is.

OK! I'm a loser. I hung out for 50 minutes and got nothing. Now I have to run my theatre.

Well, I've been in and out of the chat room 4 times today and have yet to find anyone else there.

I was in for about 45 minutes after my initial post.I saw Ian's but this darn !#%#@#$% puter running this antique platform (win 3.11) just isn't letting me get back in...IE hangs on the JAVA applet...Navigator is forever "connecting to chat server"
Sorry guys
Steve
Wait a minute...computers use hard drives, hard drives have platters in them...FIGURES!!! ;-)
