   GM Ed,   
      
   EV> Last night I was planning on answering this message after I answered   
   EV> Daryl's but it was late and I turned the pc off before sending the   
   EV> .REP packet.   
      
   I always upload messages B4 turning off the machine. It has happened   
   more than once that when I didn't, I have by mistake deleted replied   
   messages when I start the QWK reader the next time.   
      
   It does always when it starts up tell me that there are replied messages   
   and asks me to KEEP/DELETE them. In some instances I have thought that I   
   have already uploaded them and then deleted them.   
      
   EV> I didn't notice the Camera Brand that I looked at wasn't a regular   
   EV> Kino Camera, I thought all Kino Cameras worked with a crank on the   
   EV> side to take images one after the other as the crank was turned.   
   EV> My mistake in not reSearching further about it.   
      
   Please note that "in old times" the 8 and 16 mm cinema cameras where not   
   running with electrical motors but a spring driven motor and therefore   
   the spring that fed the motor had to be wound up with a crank or some   
   other mechanical device.   
      
   EV> In the 1960's Kodak made a Ektachrome film with a higher speed   
   EV> (ASA), so I bought a roll of it to try out.   
      
   AFAIR I have always been able to buy any film with different sensitivity   
      
   EV> Those slides looked perfect when I received them back from the   
   EV> processing lab I mailed them to. Boy was I glad to learn that I   
   EV> could use that new faster film in Daylight.   
      
   Most cameras, except the cheapest ones, can be adjusted to different   
   speeds and apertures to compensate for different light situations.   
      
   Nowadays they do it automatically if you don't decide to do it manually.   
      
    HG> I don't recall having seen Ektachrome (note the spelling) but   
    HG> it may have slipped my mind since I've never used that   
    HG> material.   
      
   EV> Thanks for the correction, those first two letters in Ektachrome   
   EV> being meant to say "Eastman Kodak", I've been pronouncing it   
   EV> Et-ka-chrome for so long I didn't realize I was making TYPOS,....   
      
    HG> Oh yes, I recall those projectors that were available to the   
    HG> public in "old time" amusement establishments. That must have   
    HG> been btwn 1940-50. You put in a dime (or whatever it was) and   
    HG> then you could turn a crank and enjoy a short movie sequence.   
      
   EV> I think/thought what I was looking at was a current model that was   
   EV> still being sold, instead of antique stuff.   
   EV> It didn't look anything like the big machines in the Penny Arcade at   
   EV> the amusement park that I dropped many pennies in during my youth.   
   EV> -snip-   
      
   The cameras were much smaller that the projectors because the projectors   
   used paper images of the pictures on the film. That was the oldi   
      
   EV> Now, my mind is trying to remember what size of image was on the   
   EV> reels of 35mm film which I put on the projectors when I was working   
   EV> as a Projectionist at a Movie Theater.   
      
   Those images are/were the standard 35x24 mm size.   
      
   EV> The BBS that Mike has can be connected by Dial-Up, Telnet or the   
   EV> Internet, three ways.   
      
   EV> He showed me that I could use FTP instead of Telnet to get/put my   
   EV> packet(s), since I had difficulty using Telnet for QWK, and the   
   EV> Internet Portal didn't allow QWK handling, only Reading and Writing.   
      
   Normally Telnet should work normally for QWK packets but I have never   
   used it that way but I have downloaded files/programs over both Telnet   
   and FTP.
