well the laptop gave up yesterday, which if I am being honest is no great loss,
32bit, limited everything else, so quick look on fleabay, and I should have
a Dell workstation in my hands tommorow, 2.7 intel 4 core, 32gb ram 2x 500gb ssd and a 1TB storage drive 17" screen and a quadro graphics card with 4gb of ddr5, should make building u-boats a little easier
its pre-owned, but it cost less than a mediocre new one.
