    Looking for Information

    Ryan, RST is mostly GA friendly though they prefer the jet-A crowd to the avgas lot. There is a very active club based at RST that offers some flight training to its members, but for the most part you get a better training experience at some of the surrounding smaller airports. As for other...

    I see a photon torpedo in our future.

    There will always be ballistics - throwing or launching gets ordinance over the horizon or over barriers. Beam weapons are line of sight, so if you can't see it, you can't hit it.

    Starting the IR path....

    Rob, Get your rating in that old, simple 172. You already know how to fly her and you already know her knobology. Don't add additional complexity to an already complex task. Save the sexy hardware for later. +1 on practicing on a simulator

    Any other riders?

    The hourly costs are about the same, through there is less paperwork involved with the horses. :D

    Any other riders?

    My wife and I do some endurance, a bit of dressage and a little eventing, but mostly we are personal servants to a barn full of Arabians and Thoroughbreds.

    Any plumbing experts here???

    I know that PVC & Brass 3/8" pipe will have a OD of 0.675 - perhaps copper runs the same Bruce

    navion Rangemaster

    I've flow both G & H models. As mentioned, the interior is comfortable for 4, but the 5th seat is for small children only and does encroach on the baggage area (I think that's the biggest reason you don't find many planes with the 5th seat). I've never found the visibility to be that limited...

    Great story. If you want to see eagles at home with the kids, there are some nest cams available at RaptorResource.org. Bruce

    BLOGS

    I use WordPress. They can transfer your existing domain name (if you have a separate one for your blog) and, for a fee, you can go ad-free.

    Non Av - Home Heating Hardware

    Just to be contrary, there is a 3rd option -- electric thermal storage heating. The basic premise is that you buy off-peak power, heat a large mass (aka bunch-o-bricks) and have the thermal mass provide the house's heating demands. They are pricey - the unit I've spec'ed for an office I'm...

    Can you help me understand something?

    I've never tried putting the portable apps on a CD or DVD (the DVD ROM should read a CD). In theory, it should work fine. I'd unpack the .exe on to your flash and then burn a CD from the flash drive. Bruce

    Just trying to solve the problem for Brent.

    Can you help me understand something?

    My guess is that you have the correct translation. An end-run via a flash drive & portable apps may be the best solution - at least it beats :mad2: Bruce

    Can you help me understand something?

    Just curious, but given that Word is not a very graphics or CPU intensive application and that the number of old machines with Word appears to be much greater than the number of new machines, other than simply being able to use the shiny new boxes more, is there any real advantage in running...

    Can you help me understand something?

    The "we can't make it available" could be do to (a) not having licensed Word, etc for Vista and not wishing to spend the money necessary to obtain an institutional license for a few new machines or (b) not wanting to spend the resources (time or money) to provide duplicate services for a network...

    Can you help me understand something?

    The problem could be one of access control rather than software availability. The thinking may be that the "high-end" machines may be more available for the simulation users if they lack features (like word processing) that would attract the general user. Bruce

    Carrying minimal paper

    Thanks for the info on charts. #5 covers the argument whether electronic charts would suffice and #6 provides the incentive not to argue the case. Bruce
