Wow, I just logged on with the new computer. WOW.

I love the speed.

Now starts the process of installing all the software

I wonder how much I can get to work from what I have and how much will I have to buy a new version. AGHHHH I hate this part.

Pommigolia - land of the Poms (England).



Singas - Singapore.



Evening all. Slept in. Working out what's on today's agenda.

OK, why is England called the land of Poms? What is a Pom?
Hmmm...dunno why....just the natural order of things.

I have two identical laptops and the one I am on now is slower than the one I use for work. It is amazing how crapped up they can get, no matter how hard you try to keep them lean

Windoz memory management sucks big knobs. I refresh all my windoz boxes every 12 months with a fresh install from a ghost image. I do the updates, then burn another image ready for next year.

I've found out that base ball games are more about who you're with, than the actual game itself. I've been to several, and my first was a real snoozer. After nine innings score was 0-1...

Im wondering whether to do a dual servo, true v tail setup or go with a single servo and y linkage for just an elevator effect.....bank and yank style....
I used a bent carbon spar for a slight dihedral over the original plans

Email Kaisen! He's in the know on them.

Afaik they are pretty simple. The biggest complaints I hear are the cheap quality components.... But they are definitely getting tempting. Lots of go for the $$$

My grandfather was a big baseball fan. Back in the early 50s he went to a baseball game that was 36 innings. The game did not end until 2:00 AM. My grandmother was sure he was out drinking with the guys. He was so happy to see a report in the paper about the game. The score was 1-0. Imagine watching 35 innings with no score.

Unless you meant the 1850's it wasn't a major league game. That takes some dedication to watch 36 innings of minor league play!
