The No Yankee Workshop - Cecil B. Demillwork - and the future of newsgroups...

Simple at it seems, you still may get questions. How do you get the drill to take the screws out? Will I get the same results if I play different music?

Actually, this is a great idea for a lot of service issues.

Now that I've stopped laughing - I can see this as adding great fuel to the battle between the guys in the field vs the guys in the office. Too funny!

What kind of people are working in these field crews? The simple act of dissembling the front of the display case should have been sufficient to be able to figure out how to close the gap between the glass drawer and the glass top.

reverse engineers that codec.

too complicated.

There. Done. j4

It is really very complicated (G). You have to cut a "wood" spacer and a piece of metal; remove and reinstall screws (new screw holes); measure; work with mirrors and glass; work with tape and caulk; and figure out how to watch the video while doing all that.

It is a nice video though. What software did you use?

PS: if you need some expensive help in the Denver area, just let me know.

Since it takes too long to down load the movie, it is of little value.

It sounds to me like whoever you have in the field should be replaced with someone capable of doing the job.

You make a grown man cry Spread out the cable, the T1 I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine

Dial up If you dial up

Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got Dial up?

The Windows Movie Maker that comes free with XP.

It is my understanding that the version that comes with SP2 is superior to what came before.

Can't answer to that, as this was my first time using the software, in any version, and I had SP2 on before using the previous version.

It did seem to be simple to use.

That is my thinking also. It's a shame to use a better OS and not be able to see things made for the inferior microcrap windows.

It's been done Kaffeine will play it.

I fear that you may be right.

On a serious note, I think it actually might be the ticket for some things.

Most folks have a video camera of some sort. Mine isn't even a digital model but Belkin makes a product that allows you to convert the stuff to digital (VideoBus II). (

LOL .. It's comforting to see that Sherlock Holmes is in NO danger of losing his title as the master of deductive reasoning.

uhm...mplayer does play WMP9 format, after you install the codecs package for it...I know 'cause I watched that video and I haven't had windows installed in...uhm...9 years or so :)

Look, Swing - before ya even get started - don't start wearing my ass out about ASCRAP and BMI on the Hamlisch/Joplin tune.

I tried getting the rights to some stuff for a show I wrote in the eighties, that was done in a

Ya got my blessing, Bro ... they're both thieves of the first order.

It begs for a commercial in the middle.

Now you've got me thinking. My digital camera has some MPEG capability and I've never tried it. I suspect we'll be seeing some of this type of thing on ABPW soon. Years ago it was a big deal to be able to take a Polaroid picture of something to take back to the shop or to show a customer. Now you can email a shot to someone thousands of miles away in a matter of a few minutes. This would be the natural progression.
