e, C9's ??? Add up real fast !!! lol But they DO look a lot better then those puny little mini-lights ;)

tech-home, Yes, d-lights boards do look good. I'm waiting on the new Light-o-Rama II to be introduced (spring 07 I think), before commiting to new contollers. I think all three of the major light controller companies are having to do some board revisions to accomodate using LED lights with...

Digger, You are right. I only have one string of 50 LED lights ( C3 size bulbs ) outside now that I am trying out. They are brighter then the mini bulbs. I have 650 feet of rope light - over 7,500 bulbs, ever priced that in LED's ? At $4.75 a FOOT buying 150 ft. spools would be $ 3,087.50...

Thanks to BSR posting in Hot Deals last June, I ordered several Kill A Watt meters. This afternoon, finished my outside Christmas decorations. Drawing power from three different outlets, running almost 11,000 lights. Started checking current draw from each. Number 1 was 5.89 amps, that's OK...

Gosh, You can almost buy two Ocelots for what that Xantech unit costs (it does look nice though)

I upgraded from HS 1.7 to HS 2.0 Beta and then to HS 2.1. Very Stable for my system. I look at the HS Board about once a month, and usually find the answers to any questions I have without having to make a post. (IMHO, a lot of the posts with no replys are questions that have been answered...

Now wait a minute John, You are thinking like a pilot :D It's NOT an airplane, heck it doesn't even look like a C172, err its a boat-car-plane thingie or something. Don't you believe your own eyes? The video did show it flying! Maybe you need to look at it from the point of view of a...

Interesting discussion. I BOUGHT the old version of Heather, and only downloaded the trial of TextAloud to try it with HS2, only installed on one box to evaluate. I liked it, but got busy with other things, and never did register Text Aloud. Recently when I was about to register Textaloud, I...

I'm a twice a day, at least, lurker! My post count may not be high, but I usually learn something new daily. Thanks electron, BSR, and all the members for your contibutions.

Squintz and Rustytek, That's great news. I wish you well, and have fun. I always enjoyed "Unusal Attitude Recovery" and "Minum Controlable Airspeed" practices. Unusal Attitude recovery is when the instructor would have you cross your arms, close your eyes, and put your chin on your chest...

At the end of my final checkride, the FAA examiner said, "OK, lets do a short field landing" (Commercial airport, hot July summer afternoon, just the right conditions to float). I was determined to put it down, make it stay down, and hit the brakes! After bouncing three times, I barely got it...

e, Go ahead and order one! Be sure to post video when it snows! (I'm tempted to post my "Make this thread GO AWAY" post as I have on similar threads, so far my will power is still strong enough to resist, but man that thing looks good !!!) JohnWPB, let us know when you get it!

Several posts on this board regarding Skype. Here's one http://www.cocoontech.com/index.php?showtopic=4379&hl=skype and another http://www.cocoontech.com/index.php?showtopic=1765&hl=skype

I think Kyham is still using HS 1x, though. I'm using HS 2.1.104x with a LAN of 10.x with no problems so it's not a .NET 2 limitation. Must only apply to the old HS 1x versions :unsure: edit: I found this HS release to be VERY stable. No reboots since installing many weeks ago.

Just a testament to your "How-To" skills!
