I think I have that kind of memory on this as it was originally configured for a high end Flight sim by the chap who gave it to me and my little pootah man tells me it has "some serious kit" in it. Beyond that, I neither know nor care!
As to the connection,it is what it is and it ain't, in bow and arrow country here, going to get better. No glass tube super speed likely here. There are only three houses in this lane.
Having said that, this is the third machine on which I've had Freerails and all have been fairly to very slow to load. Compared with any other forum I've been on. I am now not on any other forum, choosing to stay with Freerails. I'd just forgotten that this one was slow. It also doesn't give me any sign that anything is happening, hence I click "Reply" again. Eventually I get two or three in a row!
No matter, I'll just click Reply and go to make tea.
Cheers,
Martin

Martin Martin I live in the Antipodes and we have the planets 3rd slowest internet, the only slower places are Easter Island and The Maldives/Canary Islands..... I have fibre to my house from a pillar about a KM away and the guy who came and did the cabling told me "Mate you have superfast net here" Hmmmmm not so sure about that, its constantly crashing and can be as slow as a wet week in Binalong.... Im not a guru but if you're using wireless it will be slower than cable and if you are more than 1Km from an exchange where even in the UK presumably the copper transposes to fibre things slow down exponentially and for reasons that I dont know some sites are slower to load than others. So will that be English Breakfast, Darjeeling or Orange Pekoe?

My own super fast cutting method is to use thin sheet, blued and marked exactly as previously described. Being a lazy, idle chap I then scribe very heavily with an old Stanley knife EXACTLY on the scribed line.. Into the vice jaws, a few quick work hardening bends back and forth and Bingo, dead straight finished accurate cut in one go. Well, it works for me.
Regards. Michael

To be honest, I've never tried the score and snap method for brass, but the famous model car builder, Gerald Wingrove, used it when he was turning out his models. And they were 5 figure sums!
Trev, we don't have fibre optic here and we are about as far from the exchange as you can be. BT tells us that the exchange is due to be "unbundled", whatever that means. They've been telling us that for years.
It's not that slow to download stuff generally, just that Freerails is sometimes very slow to load a post. Sometimes it's instant. Odd.
