Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Hardware Lock or Sim

Hi John and list:
I had a laptop swiped that had Featuremill 3D on it.
They got the SIM because it was bolted to the parallel port at the time.
EGS replaced it with NO hassles whatsoever.
Their service is highly recommended!!!
Good software package too; much easier to learn than Mastercam or any other
package I've driven, and quite powerful.
Cheers

Marcus
