	Cheaper than 640x480 panels? How's that? Hmmm maybe I need to find an
IT outfit that's going out of business. ;)

	I do indeed have a sister, but I think she would object! Not to mention
the issues my mom might have with me knocking out a wall so I can tack
on my sim room (especially considering I'd probably use up most of the
yard in the process).
	Seriously, I'm hoping in a few years I can find a nice little house to
buy, and just build a dedicated garage for simming, and cars, R/C
planes, and whatever else I happen to get in to. Now is not a good time
to consider such things, however....now that I'm out of college and have
a little bit of free cash plus a local place available to fly, my
interest in R/C has rekindled considerably, I'm about to drop some $$$
into a couple of my old planes to trick them out. I've been hanging out
at rcuniverse.com and also browsing the net for kits, I have all sorts
of ideas for neato-cool planes I want to build. :) Let's
see...........Sig Cub, GP RV-4, TF T-34, scratch-built Mountain Goat, TF
FW-190, Herr Cub converted to an L-4, Herr Cherokee, a Baron
(scratch-built, perhaps?), some WWI biplanes might be nice
too..............LOL!
	Ah, so much cool stuff to buy, so little money. :P
