Yep - I have one of these

Usually you can rent them very cheap - like $10 or $20 a day from most rental places - saves alot of grief and pain

that pattern is great - what did you draw that with??

Thanks to the rabble for your advice on the tartan. As soon as I have a picture I'll post the new "Oren Peterson", Peterson surname tartan!

If you would kindly report your experiences of the processes involved in registering your own tartan, it would be great. I'm sure all of us would be interested in learning what the real investment in time, effort and money for getting one's own design registered is.
