I didn't have any problems with film jamming, though it made a kind of 
grinding sound when advancing.  I was concerned that the film might not be 
advancing properly, but apparently it did.  I did get one unmatched frame 
at the beginning of the roll, though.  I don't know where the other half of 
that pair went.

I was there with my 6 year old, so I didn't get to stay for much of the 
meeting.  (I had to promise him an ice cream to get him to go at 
all.)  I've known Dave DeJean for a few years now, and was very impressed 
with the quality of prints he gets from relatively inexpensive cameras.  I 
was also interested in the slide bar equipment, but didn't get to stay for 
the actual session.  I also missed the main slide show, unfortunately.

Overall, it seemed like a great program.  I'm sorry I missed so much of 
it.  Oh well.  There's always next year.
