Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
QUOTE: Originally posted by rrinker Ahhhh..it IS Greek. Being the Model Railroad equvalent to Aristotle and Plato and Socrates (minus the hemlock), John Armstrong ALWAYS wrote in Greek, so as to appear more scholarly - especially around the 'snoots' who didn't feel this hobby is 'intellectual' enough. --Randy
QUOTE: Originally posted by SpaceMouse I read Armstrong like I used to read Baba Ram Das. Read a page, then think about it the rest of the day.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Trainnut1250 Jarrell, No one understands Armstrongs book...We all just pretend to and then build what we want.......You're the first to actually admit it.... Or.....You got the mac version....it wont run on your software...... Or....I'm waiting for the movie version... Or...You need the hardback edition.... Or.....The foldout is in upside down... Well these are pretty lame........I'll quit now
QUOTE: Originally posted by tigerstripe I can tell from your picture, the answer is painfully obvious. Your not wearing your train shirt. You do have a train shirt, don't you? Also try skipping all the big words and just look at the pictures.
QUOTE: Originally posted by selector I think you need to take the inverse of the contents, Jarrell. If you multiply them by the reciprocal, or 1/X, you will get the true value of Armstrong's book. By the way, PLEASE tell me that you aren't holding that revered text in the sinister hand? That could set a whole nuther chain of events into motion and your layout could end up looking like a Leggo project.
QUOTE: Originally posted by ereimer the problem is obviously that the version of the book and the version of the user are not compatible . the book is too new and the user is too old ! [:D] if you had the same version i have (5th printing , 1973 . still has the $3.50 price tag on the front!) you'd have no problem understanding it
QUOTE: Originally posted by selector Are you saying, ereimer, that Jarrell is a 486 in a Pentium world?

At one of my jobs we had one as part of a machine we got, I fixed it all up and got it to run. Pretty amazing I could support 3 users with the monster 4k of memory. Those big removeable disk platters were cool. The same guy who developed RS/X did VMS and then went to Microsoft to work on NT. I had fun with that system, if I could get a working one I might set one up at home. --Randy
