I'm thinking of turning over a new leaf.

What do you think about if I change my name
from Simple Simon to Civil Simon and become
more civil, polite and an all around nice guy?

Instead of bashing people, I'd be encouraging
and helpful. Instead of flaunting my Master's
license, I'd be humble and reserved. Instead
of constantly displaying my superior knowledge
of all things nautical, I'd be unassuming and
educational in a kind manner. Instead of driving
women away, I'd be charming and welcoming.
Instead of humiliating Bobsprit, Rick, Otn,
Shen, Joe, Donal etc. I'd give credit where
credit is due. In other words, I'd be a civil
human being setting a positive example for
the group as a whole. Maybe this would assist
in turning what has become a train wreck
around.

What does everyone think?

What would you like to know? They are ceasing production.

Superceded by laptops and (S)VGA projectors? (I haven't shot slides in
years - haven't shot film since I got my digicam...)

I guess so, given the increased use of digital photography. I don't take
much interest in photography, but I've encountered LED projectors in an IT
capacity - very popular with people who play with Powerpoint.

Well, for openers, who is the "they" that is ceasing production?

Kodak. All lines will be effected, including computer control systems still
used in some museum and planetariums. I believe Kodak will still support them
for a while, but no new units will be built.

Here's a clip from PHOTO magazine...

Kodak Dropping Slide Projectors
By PHOTOgraphic Staff

September 22, 2003 — Add the venerable slide projector to the list of
vanishing 20th century artifacts.

Kodak will cease production of its slide projectors and accessories in June
2004, according to a mid-July email sent to institutional users by Kodak
account manager Glenn Price. The "pre-disclosure" was intended to give
government agencies, (and by extension, arts institutions, and schools and
universities) plenty of time to prepare – either by accelerating their
slide-scanning programs, or by stocking up on projectors and parts while they
are still available.

Affected product lines are the Carousel, Ektagraphic, Ektalite, and Ektapro
projectors, and all Kodak slide projector accessories. Kodak will continue to
provide service and support for slide projectors until 2011, and Comm-Tec, the
company's German distributor, will continue to sell Ektapro projectors and
accessories beyond 2004, according to the widely circulated email.

"Investigating and installing replacement technologies can be a challenging and
costly effort with a long implementation timeline." Price wrote, "Many may wish
to purchase backup units for currently installed slide projectors while making
the transition." He requested that institutions make Kodak aware of future
requirements to insure that there would be "enough products on hand before
production ends."

Don't you f*cking even think of it. If I even get
a wiff that this happens, I'll report you to your
ISP, or at least neither confirm nor deny doing it.

Have a safe New Years!

You don't even need two tits to be you, but you've got
