Re: DeskNC - CNC Pro 3x as fast as EMC???

Hi,
I am only putting forth some obsevations. I also have a problem
with people constantly hawking there wears VIA this conference. They
tell people certain ideas are a waste of time, only to have a buy
this solution. I am sure the man who designed Gecko products started
out using simpler designs. If building it yourself is a waste of
time, then I say forget retro fitting and buy a new machine!
Message 23413 is what I am talking about. You don't want to build
a controller use a PIC instead. What logic!
