Welcome to the JMRI user's discussion group. This the place to ask questions, make suggestions, complain and complement. There's more information available on...
The 0.9.2 update to the DecoderPro program and JMRI libraries is available for download. The update file is in .zip format, and should be usable on Macintosh, ...
... I'm happy to help with questions, and there are other members who can help too. This Yahoo group is still pretty young, so hasn't gotten a lot of traffic...
Hi Bob: I have the program in my PC but it is far from the train room so I don't get to use it except when one of my operators brings over a laptop. My...
... Although I'm a Macintosh bigot, you can probably get a better deal on a PC laptop. I'd look for something with 48MB of memory, Windows95, at least one ...
Bob weighed in as the Mac bigot so I guess it's up to me to provide the Linux bigot viewpoint. I have a Sony Viao 505TR (value less than $500 now) that runs...
Well what about an old Desktop P100 with 32/64MB RAM and dedicate it to the layout permanently. That will definitely be cheaper than an equivalent laptop so...
To Our New Group: Thanks for your input on my recent question RE: laptops. I think your ideas about getting a used PC instead of a laptop really is the best...

Jim, What I did was go to my local PC guy and told him I wanted the cheapest one available to connected to my trains. He went to his old parts and put one...
As far as PCs go, I managed to pick up a Shuttle SV24 barebones system + 1.1GHz Celeron at Fry's electronics for $250 a few months ago. (I think it is now...
... I do keep DecoderPro running on MacOS 8.1 through 9, but I agree that it's really a dog. Startup performance is particularly slow; on my 90MHz test...
The 0.9.3 update is out, so after I catch my breath, it's time to think about what to do next. I'd like to get a "complete" DecoderPro version out by early...

Bob, You could copy your multi-page fine printed list* here and let us chose, say, five items. Then do the higher percentages! Short of that my choices, of...

Bob: In answer to your question,"What do people think?", I think this looks like a very ambitious undertaking and I don't know how you find the time to do it...
That would work and be easier to implement that my suggestion. When DecoderPro runs it could determine if it's updated decoder files recently. If not, it could...

Bob, We need a "Test for Decoder" window/Step/Button. Here's the problem When someone brings up Decoder Pro, one of the most common problems is making sure the...
... Well, since you asked... Jon is referring to a "to do" list that I keep for JMRI/DecoderPro. It's in a little database, so not easy to really show well in...
