[StartQuote] Well . . . I'm doing my nightly Spammer troll, I saw the messages, please see below: Black Ops - Sorry to say very little progress has occurred over the last many months. Too much paying work and little, playtime. Vic - Yeah, I normally do date the material, just forgot. All the detailed interior stuff was done in 2011, while the last drawing (exploded Isometric) was started and finished up prior to 1998. You can see by its simplicity I had little detailed information at the time. Bill - I've tried twice to barrow the microfilm for conversion to digital, but I think my timing was off. My hope was to barrow all the microfilm (especially Ed's donated film strips), analyze it, and scan all and absorb the cost of scanning myself. Then provide PDFs on DVDs to HQ where they could sell the DVDs at no cost to themselves, just collect the money for the organization. This is exactly what I have done with the two previous DVDs, the Knights of the Sea book and the microfilm from Al Ross and myself. I also want to barrow the old film clips and convert them also to digital, before they degrade any more than they have. With the film clips, I plan to re-create the old VHS tapes HQ use to sell. I've already burned sample DVD by converting the old VHS tapes I bought from HQ (mid-1990's) into my Mac, added a soundtrack - it's really nice but the quality from the old VHS tapes was pretty horrible, need to convert the actual film strip with todays' technology. Steve - Thanks. Jerry - Thanks Jerry, you too, are a man with an exceptional and discriminating taste for artwork. - I think Bill, like myself, is waiting for the great "California Bullet Train" planning to be built sometime between now and the year 3010, at a cost to the taxpayer of about 90 Ga-Jillion dollars. - If this is true his best bet would be to catch "Amtrack's Pacific Surfliner north from Orange County to Santa Barbara, then a Greyhound bus due east to Bakersfield CA. There he can catch the "The Great California Bullet Train" for the entire 375 miles run through central California, north from Bakersfield to Fresno. He will then transfer by Greyhound bus again, northwest to Sacramento where he can catch "Amtrak's Coast Starlight Train" (not anywhere near the coast) and take it all the way up through northern California through Oregon and the Willamette Valley to Portland. - Where you can pick him up at the local mental health clinic from eating those ready-made sandwiches from the Bus Depot's vending machines. Or he might just catch a two-hour flight straight up the coast to Portland OR. Bill lives a few beach cities south of me here in southern California, and the USS Iowa is new to us, here in Long Beach port or maybe it LA's port or San Pedro - it's all the same waterway just divvied up by nearby cities. Thanks all, Dick . . . [EndQuote]
