(I know I own one here at the office, but I have no clue how to work it, they use it in our sales office.) 

Sounds like my uncle. Told him he should update his web site and he misunderstood me and responded that he just did an upgrade of $70,000 /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif!!
He obviously thought I said/meant his computer system not the web site /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif . He's got no clue either on how this stuff works. G

I am actually pretty well versed in most things based on technology, and push our company forward on a regular basis. But I don't know if the digital projector I have will work to project a DVD up on a wall and power a sound system, etc. Or even if the presentation style digital projectors are suitable for entertainment use.

I guess I meant to say that I don't about projection TVs that are suitable for connecting to a DVD player and playing movies to a large roomfull of soldiers?

And the 30 DVD's is after having a collection box set out for 3 days /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
I plan to keep the box there til the end of the month and then send them to Bob. We'll see what some dag gum city employees will pony up for our troops.

Bob:

Might you have access to the instructions? They should give you the information your looking for. Just a thought. G

Bob_Skurka · May 18, 2004

GerardC. . . no need for me to look up the instructions, I am not donating a projector. The Boy Scouts may sell the duplicate copies of the DVDs that are collected and try to raise frunds to buy a projector, but I am donating a DVD player, and I am donating DVDs plus I am sending a bunch of DVDs that I am collecting.

I would still ask that if anyone has any DVDs that they no longer watch, or if they would like to buy some DVDs and send them to the troops, please send them to me at my office:

Bob Skurka
c/o City Sales, Inc
2552 Industrial Drive
P.O. Box 9038
Highland, IN 46322-9038

The first shipment will be going to Camp Atterbury in early June. If you would like your donations included in that first shipement, please mail it to me no later than the last day of May. DVDs collected after that point will be shipped directly to Afghanistan to Camp Phoenix.

Hi all,
I just wanted to give you an update on our status. At this point I have something over 200 DVDs to send and a couple of you have promised to send me some additional titles. I also have another dozen or so that I bought on Ebay that I will be adding, plus we will officially start collecting DVD's from our employees next week.

Of the 300, I would say that 75 have come from TBN, and I really want to thank everyone who has helped. And if anyone else wants to send some, we will keep collecting these for at least another month.

I think it is safe to say that we will have 300 DVD's to put into the hands of Charlie Company, 113th Support Battalion at Camp Phoenix, Kabul, Afghanistan.

Mine will be coming next week Bob........so far 32-33 something like that.

Inspector507 · May 30, 2004

Bob,
They are on the way FEDEX......only 32-33 plus some ODD music cd's. Hey someone may like them /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Bob,

Our box will be in the mail on Tuesday. I suppose it should get to IN by the end of the week or the next. Fitting to packaged things up on memorial day. Its only 6-7 DVDs but it sounds like they are going to have a heck of a library. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Wish there was a way to get them some beer. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Later,

Hey guys, thanks for the help!

We've been busy affixing clear labels on all the DVDs that say Property of C Company 113th Spt Btn and making up a "library card" system that is affixed to the backs of the boxes.

Something tells me that they will have nearly enough DVDs so that they can watch a different movie every night and never see the same one twice!
