There seem to be so many oddly named files / processes / systems whose names seem to be chosen to confuse what with gits and grubs and the like I gave it up as a bad job and reluctantly crawled back to Windows 7 :bugeye:

Andrew,

If you gave up what hope do us mere mortals have of understanding it? :bang:

awemawson:
What got my goat is the response you seem to get in unix groups - they foul mouth you for asking simple questions as though the entire world should have been initiated at birth.

I appreciate that Windows is horribly top heavy and unstructured, but I just wish those unix 'experts' could be a little more worldly in their responses to those not born with Debian GNU as a mother.

Years back I managed a group of engineers supporting AIX on IBM machines - every one of them was a prima donna that needed a lesson in practical skills that were actually useful :bang:

Evening Chaps. :wave:

After reading the past few post I think I will be sticking with Mach 3.

Well, one of the jobs done tonight in the shop was to trim off the excess expanding foam.

My weapon of choice, the multi-speed vibrator tool, fitted with a scraper blade freshly purchased for this job. :dremel:

It sliced through the foam with ease, precisely and no mess. :med:

Rob.

I've still got a 6" Abwood vice waiting here (for your shaper?) if you still want it.

Crumbs, I forgot all about that... Tell you what, I'll swap you a Raspberry Pi 3 for it... I could call in Sunday I think, if you're around (after that, it'll be February sometime).

Ade,

I've now found the base!

The vice and base are about 45kgs so not as bad as I thought but still heavy enough to do some harm to your back (or toes if you drop it).

Are you coming round on Sunday (after 3:30)? If not I'll put it somewhere safe until you get back from China.

Cheers.

Phil.
