I love Paris. Beats Dallas, Lubbock and even Austin (which I like)
anytime. With ease.

Who said I love Texas? For future reference, I don't.
That's probably my fault for mentioning that you are from Texas.

From is a strong word. My job is here.

Some of the most interesting women I've known were from Texas. It was
probably not coincidental that they created their "from" status at the
earliest possible date. ;-)

They might have considered themselves from Texas, but Texans are
notoriously bad about accepting outsiders.
Texans are notoriously bad about accepting outsiders who bitch about the
circumstances that find them in Texas. If your job has placed you here
against your will, then that's not the fault of Texans.

I would CHOOSE no other state to live, but that's just me.

Well, I probably came off a little harsh. I did, obviously, choose to
move here and eventually would have even without the job. In fact,I
told my now boss at my interview that I was planning on staying in Texas
and would not move to the state our headquarters in located in (I know a
few of you know who I work for, so that shouldn't be a surprise!). I'm
not a Yankee (Navy brat who spent most of her time in the South), but
since I moved here from Chicago, I'm pegged as one in Texas. That
really bothers me.

Some of those simmers get pretty ****in' involved in creating a home
sim cockpit... Check this one out:

From what I understand, some of these guys are actually running into
the limit of the number of USB devices that can be on a machine...

WTF. And you're going to tell me that's cheaper or easier than going on
an intro flight?

John,

He is an American living in PAris.

Well that explains it right there! What American would CHOOSE to live
in Paris? g

Well, it sounds like a good idea to me.

a monthly income of 650.00 per month and his inability to earn more.
However I've also seen him write on detailed medical and mathematical
subjects and he has demonstrated a fair amount on knowledge. I also
understand that he is a frequent contributor to the photography groups.
His answers are frequently wrong when it comes aviation matters but the
bottom line is that he has a lot of knowledge. So the question is this:
Is he truly a poor Frenchman who cannot make enough money to pursue
flying or is he just spouting a line of bull? While no mention has been
made of a physical issue that would prevent him from working, he has not
made that a point as to why he will not fly planes, it's always been
about the money. Things just don't add up.

Maybe not. He also seems to agree with Skylune on most everything.
Maybe not a sock puppet, but you have to wonder if there is a
relationship.

I have a French passport (I was born, grown up, educated and currently
living in other countries, but I know the place a little bit and I speak
the language), but I assure you that France in general, and Paris in
particular, would be the very last place where I would choose to live.

it is probably a lot more expensive actually, but it is a different hobby.
I am still trying to grasp the concept myself, but some folks have no
interest in actually flying...

Personally, if I had to live in France, I would choose Corsica.
Otherwise, considering the weather, I might as well stay in Puget
Sound. :-) But Paris seemed to me pretty because it was sunny when I
was there.
