RichA could be hurting innocent people
RichA is hurting nobody but himslef, and he certainly is not innocent.

The good news is we have a lot of cold beer on hand and power to keep it cold. I like that: focus on the important stuff.

A lot of people are unprepared when disaster hits and run out of beer with in a day or two. Ice is the biggest problem, whereas it is easy to store enough beer to last a week keeping a week's worth of ice on hand is much harder. I am thinking about getting a few CO2 fire extinguishers, these can be use to cool down beer nicely. People should really ask themselves "if disaster hit today would I really have enough beer on hand?" Scott |

No refrigeraration necessary (although it does improve the taste, mostly by decreasing the tastebud's sensitivity to it). Normally, of course, I never touch the stuff: Belgian beer is the way to go. |

If you want real beer you need to try a pint or two of Resurrection made by Brewer's Art. http://www.belgianbeer.com/housebeer.html If you were serious about keeping beer cold you would already have UPS and generator backup. A UPS I got but no generator and the UPS would not keep anything cold for very long. And the best beers in the world can be found here http://www.konabrewingco.com Scott |

Oh my God! Date: Saturday, October 14, 2006 8:57 PM At least that's the rumour. The brand new Olympus E-400 is no more. They made 2000 of them, Kodak, the CCD supplier F------ up somehow and the E-400 got the shaft. Back to the drawing board for Olympus. Supposedly, 3 new DSLRs and the E-3 are on the way. RichA is just a rumour monger, he has no proof whats so ever. He has started this same rumour on dpreview, again with zero facts to back his claims. And what have you people got up to this point? RUMOURS from "websites." Which do you think is LIKELY to be more accurate, websites or Olympus themselves? If you actually think I made this up, then that is your prerogative to believe, but it isn't true. I specifically asked Olympus at the show about the E-400 because I wanted one as a second body for my E-1. My only alternative is to jump brands. For someone who spends a lot of time researching the strengths and weaknesses of cameras he will never own, you really did a poor job of researching one you want to buy. According to www.olympus.co.uk/consumer/dslr_E-400.htm, "The E-400 is available in Europe only." You're in Canada, right? (And I thought Merkins were bad at geography.) TR I know that. The first rumour (from someone on a "website" NOT Olympus) I heard was that they could only produce a thousand bodies and that was why it was only being marketed in Europe. According to Olympus, it was never to have been brought to North America, the E-500 is considered their mainstay there. P.S. NO one is as stupid when it comes to geography as Americans are. Waitaminute. Didn't you say the source for your rumor was Olympus? And didn't you just accuse someone of using 'RUMOURS from "websites."' instead of accepting the Truth According to Rich ... which came from Olympus? Talk about stoopid.... TR Can't you morons read? I didn't attribute the above to Olympus. As soon as it was known that the E-400 would not be coming to North America, the theories and rumours started. But that PRECEDED the show I went to where I spoke with the Olympus people. The thousand body only for Europe rumour I STATE above was not from Olympus. If you CAN'T be bothered to READ the WHOLE thread, what is the POINT of commenting? |

Yep, our UPS will keep our 150 newsroom computers and on-air devices running for hours because that's how long it usually takes operations to get the generators going. I'm sure it would power a refrigerator for quite some time, you may need to dedicate a whole room of your house for it. Greg |

When I was in the Navy, they were always telling us about guys who killed themselves trying to cool their beer. |
