Happy Earth Day from Poland :-)

[Nelson Atwell]

Since we are such an eco-friendly bunch, I figure we can all rally around this happy holiday.

 

[Ben Schepper]

I'm gonna go burn a tank of gas in celebration.

[Bill V]

Or is he talking about the dining car?

 

[Nelson Atwell]

Bill -- the food here is nice, but I need a translator to order it.



Meet my new translator. My previous translator was a Spanish-speaking, 1952 classic model made in Puerto Rico. This is a newer, 1980 model, Polish-speaking translator. This newer model has upgraded personality features and requires lower maintenance.

 

[Tom Schindler]

It has a higher MTBF.

[Nelson Atwell]

Tom,



Hopefully, but you know these newer parts aren't designed to be as durable as the old models. I did get an unmodded version though, so there aren't any plastic parts. :lol:

 

[Tom Schindler]

Thats true. Though the country of origin may have something to do with it.

Well Poland and Puerto Rico both have a lot of union workers, but you do have to respect the "Solidarity" trade union. Those shipbuilders brought down the mighty USSR one small piece at a time. They seem to build some nice translators too. I particularly like the chassis they use. Not big and bulky like most Latin American models, but a more sleek, sporty European design. They seem to use an ultra-light material, because the are easier to carry.

I was going to ask about the size. I don't see any of the "super-sized" models like we have here in the US. Are they all ultra-lights?

 

[Nelson Atwell]

Well, there are a few but they aren't too popular...
