As I sit with time to kill at the Las Vegas airport, I thought I'd pass along a couple of things that I saw at this years Consumer Electronic Show.

First up, are the tablets.

Hands down, the best one coming out is the Blackberry Playbook. Despite it's smaller 7" screen size, it is a robust, solid device that showed excellent performance.  Should be able to display MRH well, if a bit on the smaller side.

The next best was the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which is a decent device, but still not as nice as the Playbook.  Also should display MRH decently.

1. To attract younger hobbyists and hobbyists who want very simple information, have a monthly section named something like "Model Railroading 101", with very simple info like track sizes, joiners, loco types, rolling stock types, etc., etc. etc. The section would be no more than one page, and would be listed in the table of contents.

2. To attract model railroad software users, have a regular monthly review of at least one model railroading software program. (This might also help attract software company advertisers.)

It would be nice to have something like a "View All" button to see all the posts on a particular forum topic or a blog on one screen.

For example, I've been following the recent "Sequential Trains Ops: Need a "walk through" please?" forum topic. Many great, thorough posts! So I would would like to copy/paste the posts into a document and make it into an "article" for myself.

I know that I can copy/paste one screen at a time, but it would be really nice to do it just once with a "View All" button.

 I have new Atlas undec locos. They are a light-colored gray plastic. Do I need to spray them with gray primer? I'm painting acrylic yellow. I'm wondering if the primer is formulated differently to "regular" paint, allowing a better adhesion, as I have heard acrylic paint doesn't stick as well as the older enamel kind. If not an issue, is the Atlas gray light enough to accept yellow? Thanks.
