Avoid the lead-free stuff! IMHO you be setting yourself up for a world of headaches using the stuff.
I am quite sensitive. They were painting some steps at the station this morning and I could smell the solvents in the paint!

I can't stand paint like that. Stuffs my nose up and gives me bad headaches for days.

It's made me realise why water based still knackers me. Still paint, just without the solvents.
But yeah...I'm sure we could both spend an eternity moaning about all the things that should do one. :lol:

My first Atari Screen Capture.

Tried my first Atari Screen Capture. Mouse is laggy and the counter feels slow but I'm happy for a first go:

Does anyone understand this aspect ratio? Have no idea how this came about but it looks quite good when recorded for some reason:

Thanks. I found it easier with the soldering iron that exploded lol This doesn't seem to get hot enough even on the 450C maximum of the station.

Got the odd join that went perfectly, but ultimately it was a painful process. :lol:

I'll finish it though even if it takes a year lol
