    Will be starting off the new year by taking...  ...The Night Train to Dallas!

    The only southbound service comes through my town at about 3:30 in the morning. Temporary discounts have made it cheaper than driving.  Not usually the case.

    safe travels

    your adventures always get me listening to Simon & Garfunkel surprise ,

     

    Good news?  I have my old laptop to spend some time with Carrara.

    Great to see th 3D prints, Andrew.  Look great.

     

    thanks Ted, :) I am still using Carrara, just not for renders at the mo

    Good luck with laptop !

    youtube hasn't shown me any ads on my smart tv for over an hour

    this is a huge anomaly as they are normally quite prolific 

    not complaining but something must be wrong

    I wish. I get 58sec -1min commercials if the video is longer than 15 min on my Fire TV and then every 10-15 min past that time. Thankfully, I only get them at the beginning and end of a video on my computer.

    our adds are smart ads, we turn off the sound but then they have started putting on written commentary - so we shut our eyes - that will teach tyhem :)

    Hey @Diomede

    here's one from ai , the others were worserer

     

    Night Train to Adventure

    For Dallas, where dreams come alive,

    Ted boarded the train, feeling the vibe.

    Under stars shining bright,

    His laptop sought thrills of the night,

    On adventures, where Carrara spirits once thrived.

    or totally unrelated 

     

     

    I once knewed a man from Dallas

    His aunt's middle name was spelt: Alice

    But she was really a bloke

    And smelt like a goat ...

    And ate grass at Buckingham Palace. 

     

    no offence meant to anyone from or knamed or knewed anyone from Dallas

    my Win7 working again but only 8 GB RAM as one of my sticks was the issue 

    is not enough for many VWD sims, it works but only on very low poly cloths

    better than not at all though

    I have 4 slots so if I could get 4 DDR3L sticks I would have 32GB but not easy to find

    sounds good and generous of you @ProPose yes

    I have my old computer I built around 2014 you can have that Wendy if you're ever in my neighbourhood... I used it for Carrara  and only replaced it about 3 years ago. wink

    It just sits in the cupboard doing nothing.

    I just hate to see it on the shelf collecting dust.  I built it in '05 and it's been an awesome machine.  The RAM sits on aa Asus P9X79Deluxe MoBo, with and i7 3820(?) cpu.  One of the first boards that featured SSD Caching and it hummed along at a respectable 4Ghz without over-clocking.  Replace it with a 9th generation i7 cpu, also on an Asus board,  then to find out that my problem was the Power supply.  Live and Learn.

    very kind but honestly not going to be worth posting to Australia

    I will buy from the site Bunyip suggested eventually once my month is up and DAZ stops tempting me (it's far better than I have seen online)

    with 4 slots I want the 4x8GB anyway but thanks so much for the offer heart

    my Win7 PC itself not bad

    i7 8 render tiles 3.5GHz I think 

    it's mostly for the VWD bridge I need it and that's so flakey it might not work on yours surprise

    no idea what happened to Philemo so cannot bug him crying hope he's OK and just moved on to other stuff

    I wish South Australia got some of the rain the East coast gets in excesss, would be nice if it poured it down evenly as it crissed the continent instead of a deluge at the end
