I recently found out what DRM was. I bought an e-book from Morning Sun that was only available that way, my first ever e-book. Once I paid they didn't send me a "book" they sent me a link to download it that only worked with one certain program even though it was just a PDF file. It took me about an hour to figure out how to strip the DRM so that my adobe reader could open it, now it is just a regular PDF. Sort of  :RUEffinKiddingMe: me off because I had to install a program on my computer just to download it, then another program to strip it. Then I had to uninstall 2 programs and enjoy my "book". The original program needed to download and view the book was very slow. Once it was stripped and a plain PDF I could zip right through the pages. I guess this is progress  :|


Man, if only there was some kind of print-out method that ran off the pages, then stacked them neatly, connected them somehow so they didn't come loose and maybe put some kind of cardboard cover on the front (maybe do the back too).... boy would THAT sell like hotcakes.

If there was also some kind of central gathering point for these printed versions in each community, where people could go and barrow one for a while and then return it when finished.

Also a couple of the buildings I have posted in the past weeks in what will eventually be their natural habitat.

Jerry,
 Thanks. More pictures of the bridge once I get it planted this weekend. It's all scratch built minus Rix bridge railings.
