I have heard about it and urban myth or not. Do as Gajm has done and fit an isolator. Best to play to play it safe.

20 gig of downloads in last 3 mths..

www.packetnews.com - you need MIRC running... its a little tricky, but awesome.
or just good old Kazaa

Eric from Cape York Connections posted:

If you down load from Kazza do you search pick one to down load from on vidio file.
Do you need a special disc or is it the same as the music cd.

I usually find the one thats the biggest with the name I want, thats usually the complete version of the movie.
OR the one thats closest with the most people that have it listed, you will see on the right where it says 9 users or similar, that will download much faster.

KAzaa lite is the best one, Kazaa is full of spyware. Get yourself some spyware remover and run it.

Also MUST have antivirus running too while downloading.

You can usually burn them to SVCD, on a normal CD, or if you have a DVD Burner you can use something like NERO EXPRESS 2 to convert them to DVD Format.

Both SVCD and VCD will work in most DVD players

www.dvdhelp.com is a good place to check.

Called for a leco???
I can't think of any reason why it couldn't be shorted out with a paper clip or similar (some smart ass might shoot me down in flames now..) even with a 5 pin outlet I would still very much doubt that you would need to bridge out anymore then 2 terminals.

Glenno,
The way that I isloate the winch is to find the little black cable that comes out of the control box. This is the earth cable for the soleniods and if it is run into the cabin then through a switch and then to earth the only way to use the winch is to be in the cabin and flick the switch. This saves putting a heavy duty switch on the main winch cables. The other way is to mount the control box under thhe bonnet, this means that the vehicle has to be opened to use the winch. This little black cable is only on late model Warn winches, but it would not be hard to do the same on other control boxes just have to run a cable to earth out the soleniods. With an PTO or hydraulic winch the motor has to be running before the winch can work. Some might say that some PTO winches have a crank handel and can be used with out the motor running, but who carries a crank handel for a PTO winch with them.
