I'd find it annoying that you have to start a graphical desktop plus a
graphical web browser just in order to read a few lines of _text_ !

I always wanted to ask the same question, but I have a believe that FlightGear

The Digitrak is described as employing "gyroscopic rate sensors are
installed so as to sense motion about each of the major axes (roll,

Please stick to email lists. They can be managed easily with those of us
on wireless email phones.
Forums are much harder.
So many people are getting email by phone devices these days so you will
lose a lot of access to many first adopters of the technology.

Hi Curt,
PhpBB is one I've heard a lot about and have probably used, but not run. I

While I'm not an active developer (just lurk on the list), I'd like to give my
