    Special Release 2020 USB Australian Facetors Guild Ltd

    Facet talk Editor: This special release USB Drive contains all Issues of Facet Talk from Number 1 (1981) to No. 230 (2019) in PDF format. All published designs are also included as both GemCad files and PDF.

    The editor has tested the drive and files extensively and the only files that can be opened and changed are the GemCad (*.gem) files.

    These can be opened in GemCad and saved to your computer under a name and folder of your choice.

    No changes can be made to any other files on the USB drive nor can your files be saved to it. Screen copying (Clipboard and Copy and Paste) is also blocked. Even pages in PDF format (past issues of Facet Talk and Designs cannot be printed nor edited). These are only able to be viewed on your computer.

    I did try to Export the PDF to an Image JPG format. It did the conversion but the JPG file would not open!

    The USB is very secure. Please do not return the drive if you cannot print or copy the files (except for the GemCad files). The USB drive is functioning as intended.
