Tim, I've been thinking this may be a good time to take the leap and
introduce myself to the group. Since I "know" you from the Shoptask
group, my "lurking" in the background here might be forgiven. My name
is Art, I am located in the foothils of northern Colorado, make my
living in servicing and repairing optical microscopes. I am hopeing
to use my machine to build optical mounts and tooling. I have a
shoptask set up with 400oz steppers, with Dan Mauch's 5A chopper
driver. Right now i'm running DeskNC but it doesn't really act very
stable on my machine (Gateway 2000). Could be my lack of knowledge on
CNC. Could be the computer. Remember I've been a MAC person for years
and am now relearning DOS. I am on the list to receive the EMC BDI cd
(I think) but have not received it yet. I really just want to find a
program thats stable and that I can figure out. I've wanted to post
to the group but have been a little intimidated. I don't understand
most of the stuff you folks talk about, but I hope eveyone does not
mind me (and others) listening in, Take care, Art
