Transporting case on wheels

Safer and better than a motorcycle for carrying your guitar and GNX.

I hope this inspires a downsizing somewhere down the road as we begin to enter the coming of nanotechnology to the music industry. It doesn't hurt a thing to lighten up once in a while. :D

  • That is safer than a motorcycle for transport!

    Next little bit is unrelated.....just having a little rant......dont take things personally
    The problem I have with electric cars is that many people think they are saving the environment by driving them. But how is the electricity produced? Coal fired, gas fueled, or sometimes nuclear powered. So the emmisions you save on the road are traded off by the emmissions produced by generating the electricity to charge the car. Total result: No change (unless electricity production is ecologically sustainable).

    Secondly is nanotechnology. While this has brought huge benefits in the electronic industry, some things are becomming outrageously small.
    You cannot reduce the size of something without haveing some sort of effect (no innuendo intended). That effect in circuitry is reliability. When the circuits become so small that changes in heat and humidity can lead to change in operation. Think of an old handwired marshall...never fails. Then think of a PC.....the times i have had to fiddle with PCI cards to get them working again....

    ANYWAY
    once someone invents green electricity production i will be all for electric cars. and dont make the gnx smaller or it will become unreliable!

    PS sorry for the rant......
  • There's just not an easy answer. I started offering incentives for employees that carpool 2 yrs ago, and allow them extra time to show up for work. If more people and business owners think smarter, we can reduce the dependency...save money. HOV lanes are even empty...we spent billiions in tax dollars building them and not many use them. Again, an answer for some, but an incovenience to many. So we pay more for that. It's toll on the environment, and on our pocketbooks!

    These Co's are smart. They raise prices based on \"futures\" and watch our hair raise...then they drop it a dime...we sigh in relief...they jack it up another 30-50 cents..drop it a quarter.. after a few years, we're paying 2x what we did before. We should have payed closer attn when it reached 2.00/gal..instead we bought a bunch of SUV's.

    The Government.... REP or DEM..all have turned tail. Sen Kennedy and others \" NO offshore drilling, or refineries\" NO to development of other resources in as many years he has served...Now says we didn't do enough!! TERM LIMITS (2 term max) can fix some of this... the rest is up to us.. I'm thinking.. \" Flux Capacitor\"
  • Great points.

    Take care in Australia on that Catagory 5 cyclone, Monica, and I hope you and yours are safe on the roads whatever you're driving. http://thestormtrack.com/archives/2006/04/category_5_moni.html
    The weakest link in the electric power is the battery but fuel cells, brake generators, solar collectors, etc. all help. Many times I was ready to jump up over a car that pulled out in front of my motorcycle and slide where a car shell would be more visible and forgiving.
    Nanotechnology requires clean room factories to deal with all kinds of EMF and pollution to increase computing power even if the GNX remained the same size. Ergonomics and human factors engineering would help keep it real for our hands and feet. :)

    About 15 yrs back I worked on the Veterans Bridge HOV lane downtown Pittsburgh and remember thinking it odd to require passengers but now it makes more sense. Not too long ago a guy got busted in Colorado for driving a dummy for a passenger. It later sold on Ebay for $15,000. :shock:

  • Thanks for the concern about Monica. fortunately for me it is way up in Queensland and NT (i'm in NSW) - suppose its like being in Colorado with a cyclone in Florida, as a comparison.
    Yes i agree cars with brake generators etc are a great step towards efficiency.
    Hydrogen cars have to get the hydrogen from somewhere, and that is out of water. The water has electricity passed through it and the oxygen and hydrogen bubbles off. (H off -ve terminal, O off +ve terminal).
    Wastage of money for transport occurs here in Aust. a lot too. The government spent billions on the \"Cross city Tunnel\" to bypass the CBD of Sydney. No one goes on it because the tolls are way too high.
  • My solution to the energe crisis......

    My Mazeratie does 185....
    I lost my license..
    Now I don't drive... :lol:
