Deus boot camp cancelled

[DigDugNY]

I'm sure it might be the same for the other ones, but I was signed up to go the Fishkill NY boot camp in June. For anyone who is supposed to go, I got an email the other day and Andy got a new job and he won't be able to do the boot camps at the moment. I totally understand the situation.. Just unfortunate cuz I was really looking forward to it.

Got the same email... stinks to say the least but I understand. Now to make a decision on what to do with the hotel I booked LOL.

Was that just for the NY boot camp? I paid for the Cincinnati boot camp in July.....hopefully that is still on.

Looks like the Va. & NY ones are out, yours is still a go

 

[dw0378]

Just NY and VA as far as I can tell

Definitely a disappointment. I was going to the Petersburg VA one. Maybe they will be rescheduled soon.

At least out east you guys have been able to go to boot camps. Out west, because of logistics, we get screwed!

Got my money back for the Petersburg bootcamp, but lost $90 some dollars on a NON refundable hotel room! Not very happy about that!

It would be nice if there was a Bootcamp DVD. I'm sure sales would be healthy.

I am sure nothing can compare with being at a boot camp in person, but when that is not possible maybe some sort of live streaming conference mode type of boot camp for those that are just to far away........ most have web cams of one sort or another, works for me at work I have more web conferences these days then in person conferences.

Just a thought
All the Best

I'm not singling out the XP or any other machine (The XP is probably the most advanced along with a CTX with GPS) but from my perspective, Metal detecting is still stuck in the old days when Radio Shack was the place you went to buy a computer (TRS-80). Sure those days were fun and exciting,but the technology has surpassed even the wildest dreams of anyone who remembers a 360K floppy disc.. With everything that is available technology wise, I think it's sad that none of the manufacturers are taking advantage of the availability of the Internet to teach (aftermarket providers as well) and inform. Not to mention improving the machines themselves. I, like many others, rely on information portals like Youtube (Youtube University) to learn about many different types of complex technologies from Electronics to CNC machining, there is someone, somewhere making a video about it. Not so much in the Metal Detecting arena. (Yes, there are some, but with the amount of people involved in this activity, I would think that more in depth video's would be available.
Also, the cost of making a DVD is MINUSCULE compared to what it was 10 years ago. I remember paying $10.00 PER DISC and thousands of dollars for the Video Programs to edit and convert the footage from VHS decks...Now, you can edit a video from your smart phone that looks every bit as good as commercial productions. Go pros can video in 4k for crying out loud!
I'm sure that owners of various machines would be MORE THAN WILLING to shell out $50.00 for a DVD that took the machine down to the fundamentals. Ground differences can be dealt with easily. DVD's can have chapters from simple to complex. Even a series would be a good thing.

Just my thoughts.

Gary, from the UK has an excellent series of videos on the XP Deus. On You Tube. Along with Andy's book: The DEUS Handbook. Who needs a Boot Camp?
