...on this[^] please.

Might be able to get this from a particular site I have mentioned before (and sometimes have my post or link removed) at half price. I don't have the software or the dollars to buy Visio and this could be good if the website isn't lying.

So if you've used it or not, give me your thoughts.

You can't go wrong if there is a trial version...

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Well ... you can invest a fair amount of time trying to decide if it's going to work for you, then find a better, cheaper equivalent afterward? That's happened to me a few times.

I would prefer Visual Paradigm - Leading UML, BPMN, EA, Agile and Project Management Software.

They have a subscription model as well starting USD 6/month if you do not need it for longer.

Visio has a monthly plan now. I pay a nominal fee every month for Visio.

I pay $7 for office 365, and I think I pay around $14-25 a month for Visio, can't find the contract right now.

Just a thought.

I don't know anything about "mydraw" but Online Diagram Software & Visual Solution | Lucidchart[^] is pretty good (free and monthly subscription)

Try draw.io[^]. It's free and has quite some features.
I must admit I've never used it myself as I have Visio, but a coworker recommended it to me last week Smile | :)

It saves to "the cloud", so you do need a OneDrive account or some such.

Best,
Sander

No you don't, just select "Device" when it starts and you can save to your local machine.

Have Visio so haven't used this.

Website says that it can import from Visio but how well does the export back into Visio work? Since that would be a key requirement for collaboration. Will you be able send documents created with this to people using Visio without fail and have them display correctly 100% of the time? Barring that, could you do the same with a rate of failure similar to what Visio itself has between versions?

I remember the terrible job that OpenOffice did with formatting Word documents in its early days.

The SOTW is back from a few weeks of vacation! Big Grin | :-D

This week we have something completely different...
It's the ending theme to an anime I'm currently watching, Steins;Gate.
The anime itself didn't quite catch me at first, but was still interesting enough to watch.
Almost at the ending now and it's pretty awesome.
What DID catch me from the first episode was the outro music.
So here it is, enjoy Big Grin | :-D

I agree... I cant's stop coming back to it Smile | :)

but until recently I didn't know about them. They strike great balance between atmospheric metal and MDM, and this track comes from their 2018 album it seems … (I even ordered the CD … Smile | :)

which I do not do often …),

Hi, Sander.
I always try to keep track of your SOTWs; you showed me some gems (i think i learned from you that there´s a band named CHVRCHES...before they made "landfall" in Germany and became known to the public and quite popular)
this is very japan-style and i find it a little bit stressful but this is just a matter of taste...

i found something what i am considering a very cool liveset from System 7 and - regarding the names - it seems to me that there´s also a "taste of japan" in it...
System 7 is - at least for me - well-knowned for it´s Progressive/Goa, so IMHO this is a gem, too...
Cool | :cool:

System 7 - Hinotori (Official Video)[^]
*played with REAL instruments!!!

in terms of Goa, here´s the version in "technoid" Wink | ;-)

System 7 - Hinotori[^]

A nice Weekend for all of you Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

That could be possible, but if you got it from me that's a long time ago. Haven't listened to them in ages. Very cool band though Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

It reminded me of sgt.[^], another (quite chaotic) Japanese band.
