I "frankenboxed" an old computer because I wanted one with a 5.25" floppy drive. Remember them? :=3
I then installed the most modern and up-to-date version I could find - Windows 98. :=3

The reason for this was I have a lot of 5.25" floppies around and I knew there were some files I wanted to re-visit. One of them was dated July 11, 1985 and has my count of H-O scale freight rolling stock on it. No passenger equipment is tallied, but I know what cars I owned then, and it totaled about 40 different pieces compared to the 405 pieces I have now. Also there are no locos listed and I have only a vague recollection of what locos I owned at that time.

As for the freight equipment it totaled 92 pieces compared to 335 now. The car type I owned the most of was box cars with 20; today it is still box cars with 70 total.

It is funny to note that I had a total of 5 pieces of work equipment then. Today I have a total of 42 of which there are five 250 ton cranes, the total amount of work equipment then. :=3

In other news I am waiting to hear from Amtrak about a possible position. I have taken the first step, now I am in a wait-and-see position.

*Remember* 2 1/4" floppies? I have two whole boxes of virgin diskettes. I bought then in 1989 shortly before 3 1/2" came out. I've been meaning to ask the powerhouse museum if they need any.
