Flaming and personal attacks are not acceptable on this list. Having strong
feelings about a subject we are discussing is certainly OK as long as we
keep politics and personal feelings out of it.

I will say that when I read your message I very much got the feeling you
were offering to send illegal copies of software to those that are
interested. That is another area that is not allowed on this list. No
offering of or asking for anything illegal.

Just to give you a little feedback, Vector is a very reasonably priced
CAD/CAM package. It is quite popular here on the list. Fred gives an
excellent level of support (better than pretty much any software I have
experience and software is the business I am in) and has even put together
custom configuration so that Vector will output the proper g-code for the
most common controller software used in the home shop. He offers those for
free and also offers deep discounts to the members of this list on Vector
and his other CNC oriented software.

If you want to see if Vector will work for you go to http://www.imsrv.com
and get the demo to see if it does what you want. From the sounds of it you
may like Vector as it is more intuitive and visual than the traditional cad
programs for a non-cad user.

Please remember, no fights, flames, personal attacks, offers to give away or
receive illegal copies of software, or politics.
