Avgas Where is the ceiling?
"Robert M. Gary" wrote in message oups.com... "I thought it was a big bird!" - Dick Cheney. Maybe I missed something, but I wasn't aware that Dick Cheney was involved in WW II. Are you lost or do you know something the rest of us don't? Hell, WW II was Bush's fault, and Cheney was an accomplice. |

Avgas Where is the ceiling?
The issue I'd worry about more than price is that the refiners may just stop making avgas, period. What other fuels are still leaded? It's small volume, hence a PITA from a refining/transport aspect. With a refining capacity crunch...what will go first? -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 |

Mont-bata-black I'm telling you, it's time to change those old 8mm home movies over onto VHS tapes... I mean DVD's... I mean iPod... I mean streaming video.... Early 80's, I watched "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979) at a retail electronics store - played on a [big?] laser disk. I've never seen those old [..."laser"...] disks in a home, though. |

I've never seen those old [..."laser"...] disks in a home, though. I have one, although it's in the closet (both physically and because it is not ready to admit that it's obsolete ;-) ). I also have about 15 movies on LD (also in the closet). At the time, the movies ran about $60 - $80, so I didn't buy them very quickly. Then, DVDs started making noise so I held-off buying more LDs to see what was going to happen. So ... $500 for the player and about $900 for the movies. I think I got off cheap ;-) -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Airplane Cal Aggie Flying Farmers Sacramento, CA |

I pulled the LD player out a while ago and put on one of the LDs, just for old times sake.

I've got a collection of about 40 laserdisks but have not watched any of them in years and don't know for sure if the player works anymore. |
