Power Point presentation on Railroads

[Roger Hensley]

Railroad Presentation

I will give a Power Point presentation on the Railroads of Madison County Indiana on Sunday July 19 at 2 PM at the History Center at 11 W 11th Street in Anderson Indiana (that's downtown). The presentation will cover the railroads that ran through the county (not the electric lines) and not just scenes in the county. We will cover NYC, PRR, CI, NKP, PC, Conrail and the CSX and NS with emphasis on the older rail lines.

Afterward, the train rooms will be open for anyone who wishes to stay and look over the model railroads we have built and the railroad information that we have accumulated. There is no charge for entrance to the History Center and parking is available on the street and in the parking lot across the street.

The History Center is funded by individual donations and membership and receives no other funding.

Hi Roger, I saw the heading Power Point and I thought I might relate a little tale in relation to said Power Point.

Back in late February around the time of my 50th birthday [50??? how'd that happen? ] my 10 year old son was wanting to do a Power Point presentation for school and was looking on the Internet with his Grandfather [my Dad] for a link to download.
Well before my Dad had time to check it out, said boy has clicked on the link. This link was not a genuine Power Point link, but rather a bad link, a very bad link, :o , for it contained computer viruses and my Mum's computer was well and truly infected.
My brother, down visiting from Queensland, who happens to be the family computer wizz, spent the next two days trying to clear it out from the computer. Thinking it was all gone, the computer was turned on the third day, and low and behold the virus pops back up again, . We have a Trojan virus on our hands, so my brother spent another day cleaning out Mum's computer. Success.
The funny thing is my son says that the other kids at school call him a computer nerd because if they have a question about computers they ask him. :ugeek: I replied that at least the kids respect you for a skill they dont have, which is better than being teased for lacking in skills in say sport or spelling or maths. Not that I have any sensitivities in those areas at all.
I will let you all think about that one.
Ah kids, dont you just love them.
