Mulling over Daryl Stout to STEVE ASHER 28 Sep 2005

Hi Daryl,

SA>What anesthetic was it, gas? I've only ever had the local 
SA>mouth-numbing injection before drilling & filling ... I don't 
SA>like dental work, until the pain gets too much. :)

 DS>   I think it might have been nitrous oxide (laughing gas).

Quite likely.

SA> I'm browsing around right now. We have at least one other 
SA> common interest - trains. :) I'm also interested in fire 
SA> hydrants and power poles - known here as stobie poles after 
SA> the designer of the local concrete & steel variety (Mr Stobie).

 DS> I've been playing with Microsoft Train Simulator (and several
 DS> add-ons I've purchased to go with it), and the Auran Trainz
 DS> Railroad Simulator. I ordered the 2006 edition a few weeks ago, 
 DS> and I got word last week that it is shipping. I bought the DVD 
 DS> deal with it.

Trainz is quite impressive, & allows a good choice of systems to
simulate, from what I saw of it at a friend's place.

SA>They are all on my rambling pages - http://www.txc.net.au/~xaragma

 DS>   I'll take a look at it later on...the way the system is, the wife
 DS> and I have to do our "Sysop work" on the BBS between 12 midnight
 DS> and 6am local time. I just finished the games for the day...now,
 DS> it's time for the mail.

I'm a bit like that. With adsl, I tend to "graze" online, then do other
things & return to read & reply to mail etc. It is handy to be able to
search on things that show up in newspapers & in radio & tv news as it
happens.

Cheers, Steve..
