If anyone here is going to Field Day and is willing to tape some it'd be a
big help. It'd be really great if we could get the entire festival
recorded, and so far I think theres only two of that will actually be
taping. If anyone is going and is willing to help, could you please email
me at SpeshulEd69@hotmail.com so we could get things coordinated.
Thanks

We had 2 people bail out on us so I am offering 2 tickets and a ride from
Austin TX or anywhere in between for the $120 I paid for each tix.

Dan,
I tend to agree a great deal with what you have said. The timing and
amplitude are of course very important when it comes to digital signals, but
not as critical as analog. The thing is that there is always a "range" of
acceptable signal (and therefore error) that can be accepted, and still get
the same bit-for-bit transmission at the receiving end as was at the sending
end. These ranges are given in both ampl. and time. The digital signal is
"sampled" - meaning it stays hi (1) or low (0) for a certain amount of time
and the receiver looks at it for a portion of that time and says - "yep its
hi" or "this one is low". The timing is part of this process - for example
the hi or low pulse width may be 1 ms wide, but the receiver only needs to
see it for 1us to determine its state. That's the advantage over analog.
And yes, the hi or low ampl. also has a range that the signal can be within,
and still be acceptable as such. So, the conclusion is that the digital
signal would have to be very corrupted to be misread. Ideally it should be
a perfect squarewave, but this is really never the case - not at high
frequencies. Signals that pass a clock with them are called "syncronous"
transmissions, while signals w/o a clock are asyncronous. The syncronous
signals can be transmitted more reliably at very high speeds. Not that
asynchronous is less reliable per se, but that syncronous adds some
reliability, b/c they are synchronized with the clock for better error
checking.
As you alluded to, the connectors / connections are more important than the
cabling itself. Most bad connections are caused by poor connectors - not
bad wire. As long as the cable is sufficiently sheilded (protected or
"screened" from outside noise) the music superstore special is most times as
good as the custom order, oxygen-free, laser-polished, precision overpriced
stuff. I think if the more expensive cables add any value, its that they
normally carry a lifetime warranty and may have more durable connectors that
stand up better to long-term abuse. As for as the wire itself being
superior, that's usually not true.

I've still got a ticket to Bonnaroo for sale. If anyone still needs one,
give me a call at 970-988-1979 and we'll work something out. I really need
to get rid of this ticket! Thanks a lot.

If you have access to run wire in your walls, I would
strongly recommend running a structured cable product
and terminating the runs centrally in the basement. This
makes all of your terminations centralized. I ran the
Genesis 5061 structured cable throughout my home.
Outstanding product.
One cable to each location that carries:
2 - category 5e UTP cables
2 - satellite grade coax cables
2 - FDDI fiber cables
In the basement I installed a separate network panel
for all of the terminations. The panel has a phone
distribution block, a built-in modulated 10db coax
amplifier for video distribution, and optional fiber
distribution panels. Contact me privately off list and
I can discuss it with you.
Regarding the pregnancy "condition" - your wife should
be pleased to hear that prgnancy is actually characterized
by the health care environment and the insurance companies
as a disease...(and no, I'm not making that up).
Best,
Alan

Subject: Sony D100 Loading Problems
Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2003 22:51:05 -0500
I've tried a couple of different tapes in my D100, and I'm having the same
problem. The display reads "Load" and after making some normal noises, the
display reads "Unload". When I hit the "open" switch, the lid opens and
about 2-3" of tape is hanging outside the shell. Anyone have similar
experiences or know what the cause of the problem might be?
Thanks in advance.
