For the most part new technology is exciting but sometimes it can be a real pain. Few months ago I bought new 64-bit computer with Windows 10 on it. It is great improvement over slow 9 year old machine that I had. However, with everything new also come new challenges. I have already solved several of them one or another way. The latest one surfaced few days ago. I use TurboCAD v7 for making window "glass" templates. For that I load scans of the backs of the windows and then load scans in TurboCAD and trace over the pictures. It so happens that TurboCAD v7 on Windows 10 doesn't open the pictures. It adds picture icons but not the pictures themselves. I needed to do the job that night and I didn't want to spend $50-$100 for the new version so I installed the cad on my trusted Windows XP virtual machine. I was able to make the templates the same night but I will check to see if it is worth upgrading my version of TurboCAD.
It has been some time since the last update on the shoppes. It didn't take me so long to actually finish them. I shipped them almost immediately after the last post but couldn't get around updating my blog. Here it is.
