I remember BC think I still have a few of your flies from my swaps.

Someone tell Steve what the power button looks like!

The International Reply Coupon never seems to cover postage when I send flies to Canada. Also don't send Canadian money. I've tried all the banks around my area and none will cash it unless you have 100$ worth. If it was my swap I'd take extra flies, materials, hooks, or US cash (1.50) or so for postage. It makes life easier. For a brit 5.00 or so but then that depends on the flies and weight.

1. What do you track on it? 2. Do you have any custom software or off the shelf software that you use? 3. If yes for #2 are there upgrades that you can purchase if you go with windows xp. If you use it for typing letters, keeping notes, logs and spreadsheets then you are pretty open to just about anything.

Do you think that'll be big enough for everything you want to take with you? To be honest the few times I've take anything I've used a larger duffel bag. The other tiers that I've met up with have always had larger duffel bags as well. I think I've seen some that even hold a kitchen sink or two. Seems like a lot of $ for a small case. -just my 2 cents.

Welcome to FTF.

If you think that is bad spend $400 on an operating system and then if you have a problem on day one pay $125 or more to get it resolved. Until consumers start making choices based on more than the lowest cost things will continue to creep in the direction they are now. As for how reliable electronics are look at some of those old transister radios that still work. It is all in how well they are engineered. To often they are engineered just well enough to get them off the shelf and keep them working for 90 days.

From all the Tech New I've seen on them it will mean less crash's and loss of data. Here's hoping anyway. We will have to see. Usually it is the OS causing most of the crashing.

Will, Is this still from the first accident? Glad your doing ok.

I have about 10 domains if you guys are looking for link backs

Most of the search engines let you submit your site. google yahoo altavista dogpile There are a bunch.

Just what I was thinking!

Nice.....

Great work Will.

Big fan of books... I have boxes full of many that I'll probably never get to read but I want too.

You're older than 12 SD?.... hahaha

Mine arrived yesterday. Thanks guys! Thanks for finding them again TT!

Ok but I'm not picking up the phone at 3:00 am to listen to a bunch of drunking fisherman stories. I think I've only been in one swap that went bad. Very small percent to be honest in the few years I've been stopping by.

What more could you ask in a life long partner other than a life long fishing buddy.

Ok, flies are sorted and should be in the mail tomorrow. Mailman already came today. Here is a teaser. Thanks to those of you who sent an extra or two.

All in! I'll be sending them out by Friday! Great job guys and thanks for making it before the deadline.

Deer hair... I'd rather tie dries.

Ah Day5 I haven't sent them out yet! :hyst: I think you mean caddis swap 2?

It is a bit scary but what isn't you just keep plugging along and enjoy life while you can. Sooner or later something is going to get you, old age, drunk driver, all those big macs, or maybe an old lady pushing a shopping cart. You don't have control over it.

Don't send any packages in a standard letter envelope. If you do it will hit the letter sorters and may be damaged. The post office workers have always told me the safest way is with a small package envelope those do not go into the same sorter. Also, if you do want to send a buck or two in the tin to cover costs send it in us dollars. I have a bunch of canadian money that I can't change anywhere other than probably an airport. The banks I use insist on multiples of 50$ or more. Most of the time if its around a dollar or less I'm fine if someone throws in a few extra flies. (Provided they contact me first.)
