I find it hard to believe that NOBODY has replied to this! Have we been watching too many movies? LOL

Seasons Greetings to all

Ok Chip, I'll bite! [Wink]

I'd like to echo everything Chip has already said.

Have a great holiday season, watch loads of movies [on 8 of course [Smile]

Okay, you've twisted my arm........Merry Christmas. [Wink]

Bah Humbug! If I could work my will, any idiot walking around with a Merry Christmas upon their lips should be buried alive with a stake of holly through their hearts. [Big Grin]

Since I already have this present, I've asked Santa to send you another prototype. She's blonde, 5 feet 5, and comes with missletoe. Even a GS1200 can't do that!

Happy Xamas and new year to all the forums members.

Hi everyone,as a new kid on the forum (kid being thoroughly tongue in cheek )I would like to wish all forum members a very filmic Xmas and healthy New Year.Since my last post I am in the process of winding down on 16mm,in favour of 8mm and my video projector ouch!!!an early New Year resolution you might say,all the very best to everyone,Peter.

Posted by Dan Lail (Member # 18) on December 19, 2004, 11:00 AM:

What does the 'x' stand for in Xmas? Xavier? Xanadu? Xenon? Xbox? Buried treasure? Bacon & X? [Smile]

How about in politically correct terms; "Merry ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZmas" & "Happy New, Slightly Unused, Unexperiencedly Challenged, Potentially Old, For The First Time Year". [Razz]

Posted by Mike Peckham (Member # 16) on December 19, 2004, 12:54 PM:

Dan, that should cover it [Wink]

Peter, don't worry about the video player, I think most of us on the forum are closet video projectionists on the side [Big Grin]

No not yet Mike, how dare you suggest...... [Frown]

Posted by Dan Lail (Member # 18) on December 19, 2004, 04:06 PM:

Not me! No video projectors in the house or the closet. Wouldn't be enough throw anyway. [Eek!]

Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on December 19, 2004, 04:39 PM:

Nor I, Mike. I have a large screen TV so I don't feel the need for VP. However, I just started buying 16mm.......

Did I mention Season's Greetings filled with Joy, Peace and Happiness?

Hi Chip

I hope your staying warm. Were (north east) getting some pretty cold weather. Chilllliiiinnnnnggggg!

I would also like to add a Happy holiday to everyone as well [Smile]

Posted by Chip Gelmini (Member # 44) on December 19, 2004, 08:26 PM:

Gee, create a message about holiday wishes, and see what other topics come up!

Alan Gouger, I mssed the chance to meet up with you. Week of October 17th or so I met up with Vincent Rensay at his shop in NYC. I think it was you who was over in the UK at the time. I remember meeting someone else there who was a film buff, though now I can't remember his name. Oh well better luck next time.

Happy Holidays to you, too.

Hello Chip:
The person you met at Rensay Photo in New York was me!
All the best to you and the other members of the forum, and as always - Happy Collecting. - Anthony

Greetings and Merry Christmas to all! I am a new poster to the "Forum" but have been collecting since about 1958--when I was a kid and was given a plastic Brumberger projector and 2 Castle "headline" editions (still have the projector)--the best Christmas gift I ever received. Now, 46 years later, I am still excited by "putting on a show"--I spent this evening selecting the stuff I will show to my returning family later this week --
a mix of Super 8 and 16mm Christmas classics. Hope all of you have a blessed and happy holiday.

Anthony, Marconi and Chris, welcome [Smile]

, it's always good to see new members pop up and three in one thread must be some sort of new record [Big Grin]

Looking forward to reading your future postings.

happy Holidays

Ho ho ho, Merry christmas everyone!

Alan Gouger, that XG135LC you sold me a few years back is still chugging along like a champ, thanks again, she's worth every penny.
