Well, hey, I've gotta admit, most people probably wouldn't want to spend a lot of time trying to converse with me in 1955 either...

Odd use of smilies, I hope you guys are just breaking Jeff's chops.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure (and absolutely sure in my case) it's just bustin' Jeff's chops...

External image removed by Gil as it contains a malicious content on the image (Trojan horse).
I wouldn't get too excited about this - it's more than likely that it won't work on any modern browser (from the past few years) as they should not execute javascript from within images...

Kenny, I think that kind of language is against forum rules here. :wink:
Great Ramp In My Opinion.

Ok,

Stupid question, but what else would you expect? :wink: :lol:

Are the TRANS colors available on the 4004's just a regular RED OR BLUE paint just sprayed lightly or is there a special color that goes on underneath like the RUBY gets a silver treatment, or is it a different color completely?

I'm just curious. I kinda dig the RUBY color, it really pops with the white trim on a 4003, but could the same color be sprayed TRANS RUBY or is that a horse of a different color? :?

Ok, back to the prayers! :twisted:

Trans colors, also known as tints or candys, are different than solid colors. I wish the trans colors were avaiable on models other than 650's&4004's.

You also couldn't say WTF here either- despite the fact that the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the London Times, Newsweek, Atlantic Weekly, Time magazine, and The Wall Street Journal have embraced it as acceptable common usage.

However, it's now been "approved" here for all to use, after I got a bit PO'ed about it.

WTF? indeed.

Hey John, just a bit of advice, you might want to be careful questioning the rules of the forum. I did once and got a very stern warning. I wouldn't want to see you get banned.
