Oooh. I gotta write that down and post it in as many random places around my theater as possible!
Just have to re-word it a bit so that is does not end with a preposition...

Another good resolution for everyone on Film-Tech: SPREAD THE WORD! Get other film handlers in your theatre, and in other theatres, to log onto Film-Tech and join in the sharing of information. If they truly care about good presentation, they will stay to learn and contribute their own experience. And spread the word to the managers and decision-makers who need to know the "trials and tribulations" of what goes on in the booth, so they can be more supportive of maintaining the best in projection and sound quality, and keeping skilled people in the projection room. ------------------

Speaking of the New Year...If your're a time freak like me, now is a good time to set all your clocks. Go to http://time.gov and set your wall clocks and watches. If you have a Mac, open your "Time and Date" control panel and set your time server to "time-b.nist.gov" then tell the computer to update your time. Then set the control panel to update the time automatically. I have an "Atomix" wall clock that sets itself to NIST time by homing in on the WWVB time signal. I NEVER have to set my computer's time or my clock's time, even for Daylight Savng's time. All my clocks and watches are set within a second of the "real" time. Even though I won't be "out" celbrating the New Year I will be able to tell the exact moment of the dawning of a new millenium. (At least as accurately as a human can tell) Every booth should have one of those "radio clocks". They aren't that expensive... I think mine cost about $30-$40. I got mine as a Christmas gift.
