......... and programs ...........

some programs, demo or otherwise, to help you plot your weaves, and there is a weaving course on a CD you can buy. Nice idea these demos, you soon get used to the time savings and wish you had the real program to save even more time, and then you realise that you need to win a rich family or friend to buy the program of your dreams with the PC, and then the loom... anyway, for the fun of it:

The famous (?!) Guntram offers his famous (?!) tablet weaving thingy. Really, the program is called that! A bit complicated, you need to read and maybe even copy his instructions. But the graphics show how a set-up will look in reality which avoids disappointments. Guntram's tablet program
