          have changed and he regrets throwing out those other arti-
        
        
          cles in his old NMRA Bulletins.
        
        
          These days, space is cheap, especially for things like thumb
        
        
          drives
        
        
          1
        
        
          . We’re talking $10 to save every issue of MRH until
        
        
          2018? Are we being penny-wise and pound foolish, maybe?
        
        
        
          will help you find whatever article you want to
        
        
          find fast, that’s really all you need!
        
        
          
            Please repost our stuff!
          
        
        
          MRH magazine has a
        
        
        
          , which
        
        
          means we want you to take some of your favorite magazine
        
        
          articles and repost them on the web for others to enjoy.
        
        
          That’s right, you can freely copy an article and repost it.
        
        
          You can read our copyright statement on our website here

          .
        
        
          To not violate our Creative Commons Copyright, you must
        
        
          follow these guidelines:
        
        
          1. You must always include a link back to the MRH website at
        
        
        
        
          2. You cannot charge money for the reposted content of our
        
        
          magazine. It must remain free.
        
        
          So go ahead and repost articles on other websites. As long
        
        
          as it’s still free and you include a link back to mrhmag.com,
        
        
          you’re golden.
        
        
          1  One important point about thumb drives: they’re intended to be a transport device rather than an
        
        
          archive device, so they will fail after something like 100,000 read/writes. For files you care about, al-
        
        
          ways have backup copies elsewhere, either on another drive, or ‘in the cloud” such as on Google Drive
        
        
          or Dropbox.

          January 2014 marks our 5th
        
        
          anniversary of publication.
        
        
          Can you believe it’s been
        
        
          that long?
        
        
          We started publishing in
        
        
          January of 2009. We have
        
        
          some very special things
        
        
          planned for the January
        
        
          2014 issue, so you don’t
        
        
          want to miss it!
        
        
          
            This month ...
          
        
        
          M.C. Fujiwara tells us

          Armstrong sketch to build-
        
        
          ing a signature scene. M.C.

          struction and building the

          tured in the MRH forum,
        
        
          but this month the project
        
        
          is presented in its entirety.
