Bert, I agree with you, and I work with computers for a living! Everyday of the week I work with computers, and on the weekend, I get to do what I like, play with my kids and work on my railroad trains. I have Dial up at home, and don't care to get anything better.

I prefer live steam because I have to take time to prepare my machines for a run. fill them with gas water steam oil and oil round them. I then have to take time until I have steam. Then I can run them for a proportionally short time. After that I can clean them and start the process all over again. That is what I enjoy, every bit as much as building them. My computer is a necessary evil. The 4 seconds that I wait for a picture is no problem for me. I have a problem understanding why everyone these days it seams needs the newest, the fastest etc. In the meantime the art of doing everything s l o w l y by hand is running through the fingers of modern life. From the CAD to the production no one needs to think or indeed has any time to. The first thing young machinists ask when they see my lathe is "where is the monitor". The next one is where is the jig?. etc. Sorry Pete I am told that my PC is running DSL. I don't have a stop watch on my desk. I just switch on sit back and wait until the picture appears. The picture you enclosed was for me at least well worth the wait. Thank you for sharing it with me. I think if all had to happen so quickly I would suggest car racing or aircraft may be more fitting. I understand that the worlds industry has to save that what costs most. The man hour, but this is my hobby and this is my personal opinion. Please understand I am not saying I am right, it is just an opinion and your opinion is as valid as mine. I hope I have found the right words to express my opinion without causing any one reading this distress. I hope Dave is not beginning to regret making the photo service available. Sorry this is long winded but there you are.
