    I like the reply...dont bother bidding as i won it & am now in the future.

    Or the bloke asking if he wins can he go back in time & remove the auction thus not having to pay the owner.

    I built a machine very simular to that about 1500 years from now. Worked pretty good but when I got here I couldn't get a signal to help beam me back. I hate Verizon.

    Oh my! We didn't know this about you, Bear. So sorry.

    Many people already hate Verizon, so you are not alone. I am assuming you have already tried wrapping aluminum foil in a V-shape about 1" behind one side of the cell phone antenna to help focus the signal towards a cell tower? A similar approach helped ET get back home some years ago.

    Or you could be experiencing the temporal dilation effect as it applies to sensitive electronics due to the greater # of years shifted from your base time. It is similar to a doppler effect, but with time instead. These situations can be dealt with in various ways, but by far the easiest method might be to re-clock (downwards) the frequency ocsillator module, prior to the A-D circuitry and the RF amp section. This would do two things; 1) boost the discrimination and clear the way to a cleaner and stronger signal though the cell network to your home-base temporal background signal (which applied here would be a constant); and 2) re-modulate your transmitted base frequency just enough to equal the temporal dilation effect and to re-sync your current transmitted frequency to your temporal background signal. Once they both match - presto! (Note: I hope you have not encrypted your piggybacked temporal background signal, as Verizon has not yet supported that feature. If so, you're SOL)

    OK, hope that helps. But before you leave us, would you please clue us in on what digital photography paths (and equipment and brands) are dead-ends, so we don't waste our money on them?
