There is now a thread on the IEE (IET) consultant's chat line regarding the best weblog host. I find it hard to believe that anything can beat Blogger; and it's free !
Every week I am amazed at the number of strangers who contact me by e-mail and in pubs / jazz clubs, saying 'saw your blog' or words to that effect. As a result I have put people in touch with one another after as long as 60 years. Would this have happened if I had not opted for the Google-Blogger combination ? Might be so but might not, so why risk it.

Following the purchase of TurboCAD I was obliged to upgrade my MacOS to 10.4.6 'Tiger' since when I have upgraded to 10.4.8. Apart from the cost of the OS, I have now been obliged to upgrade Norton AntiVirus, which does now work. Skype continues to malfunction despite upgrading yet again. At least turboCAD is now working.
The moral is: do not buy software that requires OS upgrade unless you have much time and money available.

Following the purchase of TurboCAD I was obliged to upgrade my OS to 10.4.6 'Tiger'. I wish I had never started this exercise. The installation threw away the contents of my address book and my back-up was not that recent. It is bad enough re-entering the newer contacts but, more seriously, I could accidentally use an out-of-date address. TurboCAD now throws up an error message and the help line does not answer. Why do software suppliers insist in fostering hate from their customers ? Do they not understand our problems or just not care ?

I have just bought TurboCAD V2.0 for my iMac G5 at a specially reduced price for November. It was disappointing to say the least to find that I have to upgrade my OS from 10.3.9 to 10.4 to make it work. Black mark to TurboCAD.
