Maybe Pitkin said "we want it back in pristine condition....or else". Meanwhile, the R42's are just one rain storm away from dissolving into neat orange piles of rust filings. |

Yes, that's what I thought, but on second thought there just aren't enough 4 car R160 sets available to completely fill out the C (or the J/Z). They would still have to keep some R32's (or R42's) on the C even if the J/Z became 100% R32. |

If the J/Z were 100% R32 and ENY's spare R160's transferred to the C, they would still need some of the older cars for the C. |

Because subchat is encoded in "windows-1252" unicode, which is Western European (Albanian, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Faeroese, Finnish, French, German, Greenlandic, Icelandic, Irish Gaelic, Italian, Latin, Luxemburgish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Rhaeto-Romanic, Scottish Gaelic, Spanish, Swedish) character coding as opposed to the more universal UTF-8 encoding. Google's toy expects to see UTF-8 from America.The 1252 coding is also the reason why articles copied and pasted which contain other unicode characters in it tend to come up trashy with garbage characters in it when played back from Larry's database even though the post may look OK after thinking twice and posting anyway. :) |

The purpose of the swap is to have the R32's run above ground as much as possible so the air conditioning system can function more efficiently. The J has more time on the structure than the M. |

Actually makes sense since they weren't built for air conditioning in the first place, and there wasn't all that much room at the ends on the bulkheads. So whatever they did manage to put in there couldn't have been too big in the first place. Thanks for the logic. Actually makes sense. |
