And yes, I am one of those old fart who think that the planet would be much better off if we weren't in a frenzy of consumption, always upgrading and trying to go desperately faster!
Many softwares kindly offer a small checkbox to untick if you don't want to see the home screen appear at each new opening.
I feel like an intrusive injonction the way the SketchUp Make starting screen ask me to say hello!
Sorry to point it out, but it was not like that with Google SketchUp Free
True also that being retired gives us plenty of time to complain and moan a little bit about the way things are going..... .
Hi Elmer, no apologies required And reasonable complaints, but alas that seems to be the way things are going. Main thing is we have had years of Sketchup being owned by google that had a different objective, not entirely commercial. Unfortunately we will have to get used to Trimble or move on. I am not sure Trimble is reading the market correctly, but I may be wrong.
