Really good joke! One question though, are you calling all of us fools?

April and – dare I say – Fools!

Actually, I had heard that BLI/PCM were going to be scrapping their newly designed and highly touted sound decoder in favor of investing in a decoder being recently developed by Microsoft. Word has it that the sound is decent but the crashes are absolutely spectacular.

I think the head engineer of the project’s last name is Gomer…or, Gomez…or something like that.

You forgot to say April Fools!

I’d like to see a Mac decoder [D)] (nothing against Mac just curious).

Bapou,

Hey, I’m serious. Do you think I’d make up something like that? [swg]

Tom

On April Fool(ed)s day, yeah!

In lieu of today…bump.

Any other pending or pertinent “news” from other sources that we need to be aware of?

Tom

Walthers announced a 220’ turntable for MTH’s new fourplex.

It would be horribly overpriced and over rated… But would come in 6 new exciting neon colors!![:P]

Good one!..I thought you were talking about the Walthers / Marklin merger that was featured in MR mag this month and really got your story screwed up…chuck

Craig …Next year you are going to get it!

And would run rings around the Windows version, beside coming with iDecoder, iSound and four other apps…[:-^]

I did do a double take I’ll admit. [(-D] A more likely scenario was Walther’s Buying Horizon because they have had a couple of shaky years Financially.

I ordered 2 Walthers HO Baggage cars in Fall 2005 and they haven’t been made yet…That’s a joke we can enjoy any day of the year.

Why wait a year? Let’s pay a little visit to Dallas now. [:-,]
