we should have a few of those as well.

Ok, I'll pack mine.  I'll look at building the wired remotes too.  I
think I have more free time then others.  I might try building a control
box if I get a chance.

I can bring my PalmVx which functions as a remote if needed.

I also forgot who made the 'fuel towers' out of old Technic battery boxes, but
if y'all feel like bringing little stuff to put around the rail yard, it'd be
aprpeciated.
I believe those were Calum's.

I can bring them back as well, no problem.  What I'll do is this.  We'll set up
on Friday, and I'll bring out my major conponents (red station, yellow freight
station) then figure out what's missing.  Then Sat morning I can bring little
things like railyard items.

What sort of space do you have for little buildings.  I'd be happy to
build a few.  What sort of environment would fit,  residential,
commercial or industrial?  Light, medium, high density.  Zone me some
space and see what grows, just makes sure there are adequate services or
no-one will move in. :-)

Man, that brings back memories.  I first got SimCity for the Amiga back in like
1991 or something.  I started playing it one afternoon, and suddenly it was 1AM.
It was probably the only game I've ever really played and got really involved
in. They don't make innovative games like that anymore.

The other Amiga game I really loved was MarbleMadness.  Another simple yet fun
game.  The "Who"-esque soundtrack.  I swear the MarbleMadness theme song from
the first level sounds like "Baba O'Riley".

Are Derek and I the only ex Amiga users?  I think Dave and Chris had 64's.

(...) sounds good (...) Had? Have!

(...) I never owned any Commodore h/w, but I did lug a friend's machine into work once to troubleshoot. Yep, I watched C64 bus cycles on a $20000 logic analyzer... what's wrong with this picture?? That was waaaay back in the day when I used to play (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I can do that. Wasn't sure what needed to be done, was going to ask later. Just figured that was a convenient place to put one. (...) Ok, lets just say the outside loop is the master control loop and all other RCXs will key off this loop. (...) (21 years ago, 14-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
