Why not just get a wireless router and view anything on your tablet that you have on your PC???
L Larry Langford Gibson, Tennessee 731-787-6873 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of VINCE PUGLIESE Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 11:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} Re: MR Digital Archive For those who wish to view some of the "Fallen Flags" of the model railroad press, I suggest a visit to TrainLife specifically the following link: http://trainlife.com/magazines There you will find RailModel Journal; Model Railroading, 1001 Model Railroading Ideas and Model Builder (Lionel). Noticeably absent are both Mainline Modeler which would be an amazing coup if it were available and Railroad Modeler which some would argue was a distant third to MR and RMC but would be welcome as well. As for viewing the MR digital archive on an iPad, how about installing remote pc app (like VNC) and using it to control the PC which in turn is running the MR viewer application? The other approach, and one I wish Kalmbach would consider, is to host the archive and offer a one-time subsription so that I can access via either a smart phone, tablet or computer. Thoughts anyone? .vp >________________________________ > From: Bob Werre <[email protected] <mailto:bob%40phototraxx.com> > >To: [email protected] <mailto:S-Scale%40yahoogroups.com> >Sent: Thursday, December 8, 2011 10:31:25 AM >Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} Re: MR Digital Archive > > > > > >One of the interesting propositions that appears is the ability to use >a I-pad (or similar) right on the workbench when building models. >Assuming some kind of 45 degree mount, it would be better than some >large set of copied plans. > >Just a couple of years ago, we talked about scanning all the interesting >pages for our private use.
