For those newbies who are so enthralled with all this, as am I, if you check out the thread OER and look at the sites listed by kevarc, it is unbelievable. I have just spent 3 HOURS looking at things, and have only begun to scratch the surface. When you add running trains, doing activities, learning to re-skin, etc., it means no food, no clean clothes, and dust bunnies. I didn't even want to stop to feed the cat. How do all you guys get anything else done? Annabelle
It takes DISCIPLINE! Like a boss who wants it NOW.... And a wife who demands that I at least vacuum my own home-office before everyone shows up for Easter dinner You fit it in when you can. I'm sitting here at the company's main office (lunchtime), styrofoam cup of minnestrone soup from the cafeteria in one hand and mousing with the other, just to keep up with the forum. When I'm working in my home-office, it is hell trying NOT to click on the TrainSim icon. Sorta like trying not to scratch an itch. I don't know how guys like Rich Garber (who, I understand, is self-employed and works at home) can keep up the creative pace and still pay the bills. Only six more years 'til I can retire...maybe by then MS will have TS2 out, you think? Oops...gotta get ready for the 1:30 meeting... Charlie Newport, RI (uh...Pearl River, NY at the moment)
