I ended up getting bootlegs of 11,12, 13 when I went to work in a machine shop.I started on version 14 in my 50's. Up to that point I used a board with a drafting machine for engineering conceptuals and relied on the mechanical designers to do any detail prints required.
I went back to school to learn to use them, along with the fellow engineers and mechanical draftsmen in my department, to make the transition from mechanical drafting to CAD.
I'm actually using an old 2002 32-bit version that I own. The license expired on my two newer versions and once I stopped consulting, I couldn't justify the fee.
I doesn't gracefully run on my 64-Bit Windows 11 computer so I have it on a laptop running XP-Pro, wired into my system through a switch, so I can use the laptop processor and my desktop monitor and keyboard.
A pain in the butt, but I don't use it that much anymore and I can't justify renting a newer system from Auto Deck, when the old works.

Good luck!!Off to the hospital in 3 hours. Lumbar Drain today and the AAA stent implantation tomorrow. Got ICmag loaded on the phone and I'll try and update to at least let you know if I'm still among the living.
"The eternal circumference"......... that is hilarious!My older Brother used to call me "rotund" and " the eternal circumference."
He stopped that shit when I started to give my SIL expensive ideas on what to do with their house in Locust Valley
Shut him right the fuk up![]()
We pay 0.058 cents a kilowatt for elec here in Montana.Power outage at 4:13 AM. Lasted a couple minutes and then another at about 5:15 that lasted about 45 minutes. I am thinking about a natural gas generator. Damn electricity is not very dependable around here. And, it's as expensive as fuck. Especially running 4 grow lights. LOL
Natural gas bill is about $20 a month non-winter months and less than $40 in the Winter.
Water bill (which is supposed to be so scarce in SoCal) is never more than $14 a month. Back in why oh why Ohio it was always $150 a month or more for water. EPA fines, mostly.
Electricity.... on a good month $400. In the Summer... $700 a month.
And, California is on some kick to eliminate natural gas and make everything electric. Including the cars. WTF!!! Has everyone gone batshit crazy? LOL
The good news.... I'm old and won't have to put up with this idiocy much longer. LOL
Peace
Heard you the first time...good morning peoples...
How would you describe him then? - Rather Portly? - as you could easily have described myself 3 years ago -My older Brother used to call me "rotund" and " the eternal circumference."

Hey @Gypsy Nirvana . I am growing some Zamaldilecta express. Im going to breed with them too. None of that would be possible without you collecting seeds on your travels. Thanks man.Hopefully we will findout - let's get it grown first - then figure out what it can do - or not -
Oh - thank you - it's always nice to know that someone appreciates something I've done - had to take a bunch of malaria prophylaxis to get out there via Madagascar - then to Reunion Island - to find this Zamal - they even have Bubonic Plague out that way - (so any serious disease collectors - head there ) - lolHey @Gypsy Nirvana .

My father in law lives 25 minutes from me and has Unitil as his electric supplier. He pays $0.61/ kWh! I pay $0.159/kwh! We have a town light and water department so we don’t get all the rebates he would get but I will gladly pay 1/4 the cost for electricity and not get single time rebates on new garbage appliances or insulation. It is batshit crazy! He and others who pay this monopoly exorbitant price-gouging price because they are subsidizing the Green New Steal.Not sure what number you guys are using. There are so many deceptive numbers on utility bills these days. But, if you take my total bill with all the bullshit extra charges and taxes and divide it by the number of kWh used it comes out to $0.41 per kWh.
Why would they want to convert everyone over to the most expensive and least available resource? Batshit crazy. Just batshit fucking crazy.
