Re: Estero thoughts - 18 years ago
you may want to mark the 4th of july weekend.. that is when i usually booked my holiday trips from oregon to fort myers (pdx-rsw or eug-tpa)... never paid more than $400, usually it was closer to $300. I know this past july for ct ---> rsw at xmas time i found tickets for ~ $250 - $280 (w/ 1 stop) and according to my brother that was the cheapest.. but they decided to wait for sw fares toby Rita - Hockey

Re: Estero thoughts - 18 years ago
Hi Fred... there is an airport in fort myers (RSW) that is serviced by northwest, delta, american, ata, usairways and i think southwest. Tampa is about a 2 hr drive (and includes a big bridge to get over tampa bay). I haven't flown in/out of st. pete. Rental cars might be a problem and expensive (book now!). as my parents and brother say "it's season". and all the snowbirds come fromby Rita - Hockey
Re: [OT] satellite radio - 18 years ago
thanks to all who provided advice and comments.... I opted for the sportster replay unit and it will be installed in my car tomorrow by the best buy installation crew. in the meantime i'm taking advantage of sirius's online access to work while bopping to classic 80's alternative rock... at least until it is time to play tonight's version of "all/some/ or no access".

choppy audio for me.... anyone else???by Rita - Hockey
Re: Cornell 0 Niagara 0 (pregame) - 18 years ago
6:57... worked last week.... , but not too optimistic about today..... The audio was up for a bit, caught the end of the interview with the niagara coach. jason came back to do a look around the ecachl and then there was a "thunk" and the sound has yet to return.....by Rita - Hockey
[OT] satellite radio - 18 years ago
I'm finally going to get satellite radio and the sirius subscription package. I was wondering if anyone here on elf had experience with any of the different types of radios and how they work at home and in the car. I'm driving down to sw florida for the holidays (20+ hr each way, and yes, i'll be at the everblades tourney!) and this is a necessity. and to paraphrase trotsky.. use small words.. Iby Rita - Hockey

Re: Some access_Dartmouth - 18 years ago
It goes through the connection then says "ready" and nothing. archived hockey and football games play fine. and in the past i have listened to cornell football live (the brown game). anyways, i hope it comes out that the team ate bad chinese food or something that would explain this game. dartmouth-- ithaca is a long trip to be sitting on the bus in one's hockey gear.by Rita - Hockey
Re: Some access_Dartmouth - 18 years ago
anyone listening to cstv's audio feed on a pc? i can get the audio on the mac in my office. however, my lab just has a pc and i can't get the hockey feed. I can get the archived football audio on the pc just fine, but just not the hockey game. just wondering if it another one of those mac / pc quirks. However, I did get the dartmouth radio feeed on that .. an it is better than nothing.by Rita - Hockey
Some access_Dartmouth - 18 years ago
I called cstv 1-866-259-8973 and vented to supervisor Scott Fanzo. Got the "technical difficulties" line. I asked for a full month refund (factoring in no feed, even archived, for the brown game). He has no authority to issue refunds, but will get back to me on that later this week. I asked what they were doing about the "technical difficulties" issue (for football and hby Rita - Hockey

Re: Alumni in the Pros - Nov '05 - 18 years ago
I loved Kevin Dineen when he played with the whalers ... hmmm.... some years ago (yeah, some years ago....). he was not afraid to go in the corners and dig it out, not afraid to stand in front the net and played hard every night, even when battling with crohn's disease. I had the chance to meet him a few times and genuinely a nice guy, even to an awkward, tongue tied teenager with a big crush onby Rita - Hockey

Back in April, when one offseason thread topic was "favorite websites", www.phdcomics.com was mentioned (a belated thank you to Bio '04 for the daily cartoon link ). the creator of the comic strip, jorge cham, will be giving a talk at Cornell...

Re: All-Access Questions - 18 years ago
yup, seems to be a pc v. mac thing. I have an old pc and a mac in my office at work.... i can get the full screen video (even saw the "full screen" button) on the pc but not the mac. hopefully this will eliminate video freezes when i try to do other things on my computer.

Re: All-Access Questions - 18 years ago

Re: [FB]Brown at Cornell - 18 years ago
Hi delta one, Actually, I was wondering about listening to feeds from other schools besides cornell. I tried 2 weeks ago to listen to a udenver game, but was denied access. I haven't tried, too hard since then, but will be able to try tonight. With REAL AUDIO, if you bought the college sports pass ($13.95/month v. ~ $5.00 per month single school access) you could listen to every sport withby Rita - Hockey
Re: [FB]Brown at Cornell - 18 years ago
I thought i heard the brown announcers say that the game was not being televised, and that would explain why no video feed. Since i'm at work most weekends, i did cough up the $$$ for all-access football thus I can access the brown audio. (apparently north-west/central indiana is not in the range for norte dame games over the radio. maybe hoosiers consider southbend to be a suburb of chicagoby Rita - Hockey
