Not yet.... my tablet (Samsung isn't upto running the software, my old HP totally incapable of running the software and my County supplied Lenovo Thinkpad I don't have administration rights to install software... My elder son... B Sc in computer science and a very well paid software engineer for a currency company says I need a new laptop... I was going to buy a sort of newish s/h one from fleabay... but got outbid on a promising one...BUT... here's the good bit... my son says he is going to buy me a new one in the easter IT sales... he is a very generous and good hearted lad (earns by far more than me)...So I will have to wait...heh heh.... Meanwhile my younger son is already planning on how we can use the machine, once we learn how.... to make some electric guitar bodies, and possibly necks and fret boards.... He has about 7 or 8 here at home and another half dozen in LA... Both my lads have returned to the family compound since the start of this covid business.... I also need to build a new shed... Which I'm doing from scratch to replace a little tinny... this will create added storage and or work space... I've designed a shed and can build it ... with a concrete floor not wood... for a fraction of the cost of a pre manufactured shed.
