Re: 2000 members, 15 cnc related programs?????

Fred,

You shouldn't have to ask???!!!!

Once again, this is a PUBLIC forum, and the database is INDEPENDANTly
created to serve its MEMBERS (home shop) interests. You have the
right to sell your program to anyone you desire. You have the right
to protect its name from UNFAIR attack. You do not have the right to
remove it from any list you think does not serve YOUR BEST INTEREST!

Frankly, I want a database that IS independant OF the input
from "company reps"!!! I expressly designed this database to NOT
INCLUDE SUBJECTIVE EVALUATIONS.

Name, use, author/mfr., ballpark price, and contact information fall
EASILY under the United states "fair use" provisions....

Ballendo

P.S. If you don't like the database design; you are free to submit
your own PARALLEL database.
