Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Black box ??

Just one more reason to drop Gates-mania & hiz Windoze show. Keep coming
up with new garbage to sell to unsuspecting twits, who think the sun rises
& shines on ole Bill & Company (Intel, etc.). Oh, and by the way, build in
some obsolecence; that way, it'll be easier to sell the New, Improved
version! If I left a 'legacy' like that, I'd be ashamed of myself... all
97 Billion dollars worth! I'm glad I moved over to Linux!
