    Ben –

    You would truly be okay with an iMac.

    You should at least test out the TFO BVK (their new rod), and I would also throw the new Ross RX in there.

    You know, in real terms a Clinch Knot is nothing more than half of a Blood Knot, just as a Duncan’s Loop is half of a Double Uni Knot.

    Apple makes various “dongles” for all their laptops.  They have changed connectors over the years so you’ll need to be sure to get the right one (DVI, micro DVI, etc.)  But basically it’s an adapter that you simply plug into the laptop; it automatically senses it.  You can then plug in whatever other cord you want to the other end.  I have dongles for Mac to HDMI and Mac to VGA (the blue multi-pin one that adapters use).  That usually covers both flat panel TVs and also rear projector devices.

    In my experience with Macs, they will auto detect almost any type of screen.  You can then decide whether to mirror your screen on the laptop (which I recommend) or to use the other monitor as additional desktop space, which you can drag windows up onto.  I prefer mirroring because it is simpler to go full screen that way with Preview’s slide show.  Then you just use the remote to click through it.  I am not talking about the little white remote that comes with a lot of Apples, but rather the metal, $29 presentation remote you can buy separately.  (Although I actually use a Magic Trackpad because it lets me run things like Google Earth from a distance, which I sometimes include in my talks).

    PS Projectors are extremely expensive.

    Nice!  This is a great spread.  

    And this MADE a great spread, I bet.  Dang! Are those silvers?

    Is this a Dolly, and Arctic Char, or a wayward Laker?  (Like Kobe Bryant? Hahaha.)

    I was looking at one of those kid carrying backpacks at Dick’s today (my cousin is about to have a son and I thought it might make a good gift).

    Some great shots Brad but I am going to split this out into its own thread.

    I think the advantage of the Albright, Mike, is that it’s based on the same Chinese Handcuff principles as the nail knot, but the line itself is doubled back through so it’s physically impossible for it to slice the coating and slip off.

    What knot are you using to hold the loop to the line itself Mike?

    Jack –

    It really does seem like New Zealand is the one place where tights have caught on with fly fishermen; I had heard it said that because you guys are closer to Antarctica and its ozone hole, people burn quicker there and therefore regular sunscreen is not enough.
