RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Ah-ha! in the home-shop; was: Who's your BOSS?

Richard,

Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself and your products. You sure
have offered a pretty healthy deal.

Can you give us the URL for Bill at Grifftek?

I for one am very interested in your thoughts on the subjects you list
below. What is particularly interesting it the answers to the BOSS related
questions. I am working on converting Bridgett (a Bridgeport series II) to
something modern. Been playing with my original Camtronics 5 amp chopper
drive and just hooked on a Gecko G210. Not sure what direction I am going to
go, but your insight would be valued.
