[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Bill H.</i> <br />If you're familiar with, say, RT3, for example, one can build and run railroads all over the world, haul all manner of freight, (to REAL destinations which yield REAL results), and in every imaginable time period with almost any kind of equipment that was ever produced, not to mention dealing in Real Estate, Stock Market, Futures and as cut-throat in business as you choose to be. Not a bad deal.... <br /> <br />....THIS, my friends, is where the future is headed. This and places like it. The future will offer better and better programs. The above is only one of what's currently out there. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I can see it now. 200 years from now. You walk up to this door. and say <br /> <br />"computer. Union Pacific railroad. Cheyanne Wyoming Circa 1948 locomtive of choice. Big Boy type # 4004 Train a west bound Reefer Extra. Going over Track Three on Sherman Hill to Laramie Wyoming. <br /> <br />The computer computes for a few secods. <br /> <br />annouces "Enter when Ready" <br /> <br />you walk throuigh the door and your standing on a cool fall day at the locmotive ready track in Cheyanne. <br /> <br />That scenario sounds very familiar. <br /> <br />James
