    Woodsmith # 167

    Got my latest copy of Woodsmith. The was an article about a CAD program. The program is Google's Sketchup and it is free. Tried it last night and this morning and it seems fairly easy to learn and comes with a Woodworking Template. Might be what some of us are looking for in a simple CAD/sketch program. It can be downloaded at www.Sketchup.com

              Bummer!

              I downloaded it sometime ago, then discovered that it only runs on XP, or better.

              I'm running MicroSoft ME, so I can't use it without an OS upgrade.
              Stop thinking why you can't and Start thinking how you CAN!

                      Wow, save yourself some headache and goto anything other than ME. I think even win98 is a better option than ME.
