I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard was not what I meant...

....For sure what I use can't make me perfect but it sure is handy...A 3 by 5 card size spell checker: "spelling ace" by Franklin Corp...Have used it for years including back in the days of work. It's on duty laying right beside the computer all the time. {Even though the computer has a spell checker within}...

Ed,

Wherever you go, there you are! BTW...any word on those Chinese locos?

[Modelcar]

Some years ago a Chinese steamer was being shipped across the pond and the ship sank....So there is an unused one at the bottom of the sea.

I've got a picture of my wife on my computer desktop, sitting on the hood of the car... not that it helps my spelling (I spell better than my wife anyways), but the picture sure is nice to look at when she's not around! [:D]

Well now, there are a few variables to consider here.........................

1) Was the paper for this card shipped from a "captive" shipper, who only has access to one Class One?

2) Was any part of the production, and/or shipping of the card affected by the price of hauling wheat out of Montana over the old Milwuakee Road Pacific Coast Extention?

3) Was tar sand from Canada a factor?

4) Did the card ship on any "mean, old" Class One, that gobbled up someone's favorite fallen flag, and then,*horrors* painted over the old paint job?

5) How clean were the locomotives of above mentioned railroad?

6) Did the engineer wave?

7) Did he/she wave all 5 fingers at the railfans?

It's these, and other equally important matters that we have to clear up, before we can worry about how big a 3X5 card really is.[;)][:o)]

Murph,

Let's not forget to see if the card was accpeted by a certain Railroad Picture Website! [:P]

While your at it if it's not going to go at least 20 pages or more why bother. [2c] You guys/gals ROCK

rranb says quote"blah blah blah" or something like that. You folks just don't get it. I was lunching with an old, retired paper company president the other day. He said the *3X5* card issue was brought on by mis-management of the metric system. You ninny! A 3X5 card is actually 76.2mm X 127mm. How could you possibly deny that?[;)][}:)][:o)]

Murph,

I want to know just what type of wood pulp the card was made with, too. If it's not whole fiber wood pulp, then it's only contributing to our national obesity problem.

[Modelcar]

Sorry for mentioning a "3X5" card in my description of size of an item....I seem to have inserted chaos into the system....I'll try to be more careful.....[(-D]

You notice nobody has complained. [:p]

[chad thomas]

That's it. There is just no way this whole thing will be resolved without wholescale "Open access". Ya, Ya, I know there is that whole reality thing but that don't matter here. Bottom line, we need open access to other cards or we will witness first hand the fall of western civilization.

Now you're on to something! I overlooked that we were talking about modern, bleached white 3X5 cards here. I tell ya....the world went to heck in a hand basket. In the good old days, they wrote notes on birch bark-and did a very fine job, thank you very much. Then, some square-heads did studies, that falsely stated 3X5 white cards were the way to go.[:0] We all know, the industry should have never phased out the birch bark![}:)][:o)]

You guys forgot to specify if the index card belonged to NS:




Or to CSXT:
