I was told once that the internet is addictive, I have been on the net for years, but one thing I am addicted to is this forum. Thank you guys. It is the 11th today here, and payday is the 26th... then I can place my order on the 29th... I CANT WAIT, nearly time for delivery...
You're not the only addict here - just one more post....I can handle it.....it's not like I need to post......I just kind of like to! :lol: :lol:

I must admit, I use windows... I am a desktop support engineer with a dream and I hate the platform I use, but it is all I know... My dream is to at least compete in the world championships, I would like to race at least once at all the popular tracks around the world... My 710 will stand by me.

Glow plug hole too big?:confused: What are you trying to do? Take the enigne out with the bodyshell on?:lol:

Well, the cable ties is a cheap way to protect the head. Especially if you run Lola body which makes the engine exposed. I think Mugen sells some head protectors that you can put on too.

Not sure how it works with the WC - if it is by invitation only, but it you want that WC feeling, I think you could do worse than going to the Winternats in florida next year - it is affectively a mini-WC.

Being a sw developer + ex-photographer, my platforms of choise are: Solaris (creative programming), Linux (just for the fun and freedom of it) and OSX (for the beauty and creativity) :D

Solaris is the operating system from Sun Microsystems - this is the worlds most stable platform. Uptime on these units is in the order of a couple of years without reboots! The only reason mine go down at home is due to power cuts :cry:

well, I thought as much... you program GSM handsets... which ones... Nokia, Siemens... I am always looking for S\W for my Nokia 6600, got it running NGAGE games recently... wander if I could program digital servos with it... put it on a 710 and film a slow run...

You're brave :lol: :lol: Actually I work for several companies and am sworn to secrecy :D They are Asian firms, though.

BaxterC 03-11-2004 12:31 AM

I suppose... I can respect your secrecy... I am worried, and I wander if anyone can help, If I order a kit on the first of april from serpent, and if they send me all the updated parts, what will I actually get that is updated? I dont want to order on the 1st and on the 3rd they release another update, and then I sit with an old part that I will need to purchase and spend more money. Are there any other expected updates?
