RE: (erielack) Favorite Era

Paul,
You're not the odd man out, :-), it's what you grew up with and what you remember. It's like music, I grew up in the Hippie generation and the music then was different from previuos generations and future generations. It's what makes you, you and everyone else everyone else. I have to admit, my favorite color is blue and the freshly painted CR units were pretty nice looking.
