Garden has priority! :) I also need to do some stuff around here. Old computers are bad for getting things done.
Yep they certainly are a distraction and not good for getting real chores like gardening done :)

With the output window topped, you can left-click on an area and it will be zoomed 2x. A right-click will zoom out. There is no limit to the zoom but some scenes will definitely break down at some point :)
I'll try that later too.

Yes, I can well imagine.

Even just normal stuff, such as getting Helios to run multi-cpu and the same for X has caused a lot of consternation and frustration!!!

All good now though after a complete re-copy of the whole ATW800_2 folder structure!
