The CUT
Hi,
I have a pair of Fischer CLS3 skis that I've never used. It says the cut is 89-64-80. What exactly do these measurements mean. Also can any of you tell if it's a carving ski from that info alone. Would they be good enough for someone who's at an intermediate to good level Ta J |

Would they be good enough for someone who's at an intermediate to good level Ta J My guess is that it's millimeters, tip, waiste, tail. My 205cm slalom skis were carving skis. All downhill skis are if you know how to ski. As to what level those are intended for? Don't they have a website? pigo |

I once complained about the new website of an amateur sports organization on which I depend for information on an almost-daily basis. The new look started with a long animated entry screen extolling the organization's virtues that took 20 minutes to load on a cable modem (and my old 486 machine). I got a nice email from the association president and the flashy intro was gone the next day. |

I got a nice email from the association president and the flashy intro was gone the next day. I guess you are lucky. Most web admins nowadays will answer you that they have designed their site for IE 7.4.22 or higher on Mozilla 8.9.44 and if you don't run one of these, tough luck. The worst example is my UK HSBC bank which only works with IE forcing me to find a Windows machine to access that site (no IE for Solaris/Linux/AIX/...). No wonder I use telephone banking with them more often then Internet. And when I complain, they don't even understand the problem! Ugh. Anyway, to come back to skiing, my local hill http://www.bluemountain.ca/ had a great snow condition site where you can see open and closed runs and lifts but have now closed it ("no longer able to handle the amount of traffic", according to the web site). Come on people, Blue Mountain belongs to Intrawest, they can afford faster machines and/or wider pipe! Bye, Dragan -- Dragan Cvetkovic, To be or not to be is true. G. Boole No it isn't. L. E. J.

Most stuff I am getting there are these stupid MS worms/virii as well as clueless replys from virus-scanner processes with reports that "the message contained a virus which has been deleted". But anyway, that account is mostly a junk account anyway and heavily filtered for spam (by gmx + few of mine personal filters). Bye, Dragan -- Dragan Cvetkovic, To be or not to be is true. G.

Most of these sites just look at the browser ID and kick you out; Mozilla can often handle everything fine, once you get past the gatekeeper. I know. I have tried that, even tried Opera, but that browser detector seem to be more clever (or stupid, depends how you look at it) and still refuses to let me in without IE. Disclaimer: my experience was some 6 months ago, so they might have changed it, but I gave up on their internet site. I guess I should try again. Some day.
