[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by robmik</i> <br /><br />I'm an old timer I guess, being in H0 since 1956, when I was 13. <br />I would never consider DCC for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the evangelical fervor with which so many DCC advocates feel they need to attempt to "convert" us with. <br />I never changed religions based on anyone telling me why I should, either.[:D] <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] I can't fathom why you would think that people's enthusiasm for a new product is anything like trying to convert your religion? It's very rare when any new product is developed that actually creates followers who go out of their way to reccomend it to others. Hey, try the new McDonalds Big Deluxe, if you eat one you'll never again eat an old fashion Big Mac!!! [}:)] If you really belived that advances in technology existed to only "suck money out of hobbyists" then why tell do you own a computer that is in it's 11th or 12th generation and is obsolete a year before it's produced? Can it be WinTel suckered you? Or is it you found you can still use the older units even if they are not state of the art what's being sold next year? I'm happy for any new technology to make my life easier. If you want to hear some real preaching listen to an Amish man tell us we are all wrong for having any technology and freetime to play and that we are all going to Hell...You, me, all the "english"... AMEN The bottom line, if it wasn't any good it wouldn't have followers. Since it does maybe there is some good in it. FRED
