An e-mail comes with "Perfectly Accurate Markings" in the title and you think "decals!" rather than "phony watches".

Mine's a portable and I've had it since 7th grade. I 'needed' it for term papers. About 10 years ago I had it cleaned and reconditioned. Unfortunately the dealer couldn't replace the old platen so he just sanded it down to get rid of all the years of indentations. I'm not sure of ribbon availability but the place I used to buy them went out of business. I did buy a couple extra on my last visit so I can still use it. I may have trouble re-learning how to really pound the keys since I had to learn NOT to do that with a keyboard.

Then decide to use it in a diorama! Ummmm, how is it that a piece of antiquity "falls over" in the first place? And second, what was said antiquity doing next to the workbench?

Bruce Burden Austin, TX. - Thuganlitha The Power and the Prophet Robert Don Hughes > maies...@netscape.com <maies...@netscape.com> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > The Power and the Prophet > Robert Don Hughes The workbench is a good sized table, about 6' x 3'. The far side of the table has fifteen of the eighteen index card drawers with all of the cataloging and cross-referencing of the contents of a 7000+ volume aviation library. In front of the card files to the left are my modeling supplies. To the right is said antiquated appliance and "The Mess" (which gets cleaned up about twice per year). In front of my is the laptop, which goes on top of the card files when not in use (the printer is also up there along with the current project). Then there are lights, magnifiers and stuff. When I work on a model I have a nice space, about 18" x 24", with the typewriter upended to the right. What happened to the glider was this: Upon finishing it I pushed away from the table to show it to Lynne and the typewriter got bumped just enough to topple onto the model. One of the results was a need for a new typewriter. With tens of thousands of file cards I won't live long enough to transfer all of it to disks. Office Depot, where I have purchased the last two, had one at a good price after I threw the kid through the window who asked "What's a typewriter?". The writing's on the wall, I know. I'll pick up a couple more and a ton of ribbon cassets and correction rolls that should last me until I chuck it all. BTW, that glider diorama got me out of several years of AMS, during which I built one model for myself in between filling orders. Since then I've completed four vignettes and a "what-if" aircraft and actually worked on some of the two dozen to-do kits in the stack.

It's especially difficult when the gender of the word disagrees with the gender of the creature. I can live with 'die Kuh' as all 'cows' are female but 'das Pferd'? Ancient Germans apparently didn't see the horse in the same light as those who depended on them for existence.

Pronounced: shooluh). Bauhaus was (is?) an old school for education in art, architecture etc. early in the last century. I think the bands name comes from that.
