Maybe some sort of twitching index finger and squint from too much digitising?

Some good advice from MM especially regarding directory structure in Mapinfo. It's very annoying to not be able to open your maps because the programme can't find the files anymore just because you've moved a folder. You can edit the instructions but it's a pain.

I learnt Mapinfo by using it and getting occasional phone advice from my ex employer. I do have Arcmap/info somewhere but have yet to start using it. Maybe that should be a winter project but I no longer have anyone to advise me so it could be tough going. By the looks of it Mapinfo is more user friendly but less all singing all dancing, at least the versions I have.
