Love the new site. Hope we can eventually store PDF's and other documents here.

McFarlane makes the thicker rails, but unless you plan on living another 50 years your new rails will last longer than you do even if you buy originals, and if you do buy rails different than originals they'll not match the Non-locking side rails unless you replace that side as well (not likely to be required.). This may be unimportant to you, I just wanted to point that out.

Most ISPs allow a certain amout of bytes to be uploaded on it's server; one could always upload any file and link to it in a post. So, instead of burdening this site with memory prolific files, just upload any file you wish (such as a .pdf) to your own ISP. A handy tool for this is WS-FTP. I am linking a site here to find this application. Read the tutorial. It is an easy little tool.

There are WS-FTP downloads here for Windows 3.1/98/2000 and Macs.

George might care to create a "Topic" or other area that caters to hyper texts exclusively: ex. "Fast Plane can be seen here" http://www.spicewoodisp.com/georges_fast_170B.jpg"

Just a thought.
