Okay, so I watched this again the other night....and you totally get points in my book for saying 'twenty-oh-seven.' Way to be ahead of the times, Scot! I can't wait till they finally figure out that 'two-thousand_______' is not the eventual way we will be saying this. My guess is 2010 will be where we finally 'switch over.' So yeah...random props. Hope I didn't derail your thread too much.

And thanks again, Scot! I appreciate all the excellent information...so great to learn so much in such a brief time!

'Boi, you can thank the DVD narrator, Thor Wold. That is how he read my text (twenty-oh-seven), and I just let him ride with it. He's a pro. He also works up at an astronomical observatory atop Mauna Kea mountain on the Big Island, at an elevation of 13,796 ft. He works 10 days on, 6 days off. I suppose that having this view (see below) all the time mght expand one's mind a wee bit.

Ahhh, the Twenty Hundreds! I can't stand it when people say "they year" either. As if we would confuse 1989 or 2012 with...a pound of ham. Nobody said "the year" in the Nineteen Hundreds.

It's not Two Thousands, it's Twenty Hundreds! Ha ha ha ha ha.

And when they gon' get wid it keepin' the Panama and Black Sig etc from killin' all dem bananas!!???

I just sent an email. Sounds good.

A view like that, over the mountains, over the clouds, and even into the vast reaches of space...!? That's what I call "Total Vision"...! Awesome!

Dear Scott,

I want to thank you for sending me the DVD. I was thrilled to get back from holiday and find the dvd in my mailbox ! I don't recieve a package from hawai every day! I already watched the DVD one time, but i will watch again to study everything in details. I'm very happy with it.

Many thanks for this great initiative !

Hello everyone:

We are no longer able to mail the "Growing Bananas" DVDs for free to non-Hawaii residents (although we have done that sine June 2009).

After today, you should send money for postage if you do not reside in Hawaii.

However, you could also browse this thread for links to view or download the video online for free at my website (The Plant Doctor) or at YouTube - Broadcast Yourself., or to download it as a free podcast for iPhones or iPods from the iTunes store.

Thank you.

Scot

Just to help people find this on YouTube, here's a link to a post by Scot in this thread that has all the videos from YT posted. Hope everyone enjoys this video as much as I did and learns a lot!

Thanks again Scot!

Hi Scot,

would it be possible to you to put the other extras on the DVD (pdf, images) also online for download or if available already post the links?
I saw the video today! Great! I love it! Thanks!
