This is the POINTER to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on ship
modeling. The FAQ itself is longer posted (since September,
2001); only the HTML version is available, at:
http://home.att.net/~ShipModelFAQ/.

*This* POINTER is posted weekly. It goes to:
news:rec.models.scale, news:rec.models.rc.water, news:news.answers
and news:rec.answers .

Also HIGHLY recommended is the Ship Modeling Email List Server
(essentially an e-mail discussion group). To subscribe, go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SeawaysShipmodelingList
...and follow the instructions there.

The following three sites are especially useful to ship modelers!

"The Maritime History Virtual Archives": a GREAT!!! (and one of the
first!) WWW location, maintained by Lars Bruzelius (in Upsala,
Sweden):

Users' Groups

001- How can I find out about Apple II users' groups?

From: Rubywand

001- How can I find out about Apple II Users' Groups?

Many Apple II users groups continue to meet, especially in major cities and on university campi. If a local group listing is 'missing' from your phone book, check for a Mac users group-- a number of Apple II groups merged with their Mac counterparts often as one or more SIGs (special interest groups).

The Apple User Group Connection (800-538-9696 ext 500) may be able to steer you to a nearby Apple II (or Macintosh) User Group. You can find a listing of users' groups below.

Of course, you can always post a question to comp.sys.apple2.usergroups and/or to Csa2 main (comp.sys.apple2).

This part of the FAQ deals with advanced issues that delve into parts
of the game that have changed, or which are complex. For beginners,
this section gives the answers to some difficult questions; for players
with more experience, the discussion should provide skills that will
help solve most Magic problems. For this part of the FAQ especially,
it's worth having the Comprehensive Rulebook available while reading.

Subject: 3.01: Templating and identification

Magic card text uses specific templates to indicate that a particular
type of effect is intended. Some of the templates refer to the use
of particular words, some of the templates are simply idiomatic use
of English that Magic has adopted.
