I like the 'net, but I get less actual work done on the layout, since it came along.[:I] I use it more for newspapers & general knowledge, than for any hobby-related purposes. As far as forums, there are very mixed feelings about their general usefulness.I find the generally atrocious levels of spelling and grammar the most offensive part of forum content...but I guess those things matter no longer, in today's world of speed and progress.[:(] I dropped out of all Yahoo connections, because I was never bombarded with porn Spam UNTIL I signed on to groups at Yahoo[V]...and that most offensive form of Spam has all but stopped now. The whole scenario really depends on one's perspective....if you are modelling 1948 for instance, and you have access to a large library of books, magazines etc. with everything you needed to know about railroading in 1948...guess what ? There's nothing new about 1948 !..it's only POSSIBLE you can find it more quickly & easily on the 'pooter.... On the downside, since everything EVER KNOWN about 1948 is on the 'net, it might take you even longer to search out exactly what you want, than it might in a railroad-specific book.[:0] It's often said that one cannot miss what one never had...I guess that's why I know some happy & contented model railroaders that don't even own a computer.[;)][:D] regards, Mike
