I'd like to get a copy of Home Depots Deck Designer Software
Any regular visitors to the USA here who could pick up a copy for me? Payment in cash of course.
How quickly do you need it?
No rush at all, just want to increase my knowledge.
.. and do you need that specific one? There are others around. Do you want this as a quick way to put together designs to show to the punters, or for working out materials for a given layout or...?
I'm basically attracted to anything that tells me something I didn't know. The ability to do drawings for customers would be good, I've never found a CAD program I could actually understand how to use. Materials are less important, Excel is my friend :-)
Which others are about then?
let
There's a few low cost (= < ~ $70) discussed here.
There are two things to watch with U.S. landscape type products:
- The plants are often of types not used here because of different climate
- Materials dimensions are not the same
Get Deck Designer for free from a torrent site:
You've got to give them a large deposit first Dave!!

You could try looking on Amazon.co.uk for other applications:

Not really. Download & install Azareus for free (there are others), google for "whatever you are looking for torrent" to find a site that has got the torrent[1][2], click on the link, tell your browser to open it with azareus, tell azareus where to save the file to, wait for it to download. Not much different from using other 3rd-party download managers.
[1] except the site with the .torrent file doesn't actually have the file you're trying to download, only a pointer to everyone else who's got it who will let you have a bit of theirs, which your torrent client puts together to make the whole. Since it's a cooperative effort it's etiquette to leave your torrent client (azareus/whatever) running until your 'share ratio' is up to where you've given back to others as much as you got. I stop sharing when I've got to a ratio of 2, though some torrents never get above about 0.5. [2] look for a torrent that's got the highest number of 'seeders' (people who've got the whole file) as well as 'leachers' (people like you who are downloading bits but haven't got it all yet).
A pal of mine uses this method and advocates setting up a separate PC (old one will do) with absolutely no personal info on it and just the minimum software needed to run bit torrent. He also keeps a Norton ghost image of that disc in a safe place. In that way if you do get a dose of virus, recovery is easy and there is no risk to your personal info and main computer. Bob

is this a pick up at Home Base or can it be ordered on-line ? ... if the latter, I have someone bringing me some stuff back in 3 weeks time .... let me know if you need it added to the list
