Re: Newbie Loosing Mind........Need Shootout......Small Desktops..FAST

The type of "consumer reports" special you want ain't gonna happen.
The field changes so fast and there are so many newcommers every
month you would never get a "book" published fast enough.
It sounds like you have done enough looking to get a decent idea.
Read the list archives, go to the NAMES show and see some real
machines running. That's the easiest way to make up your mind.
I went through the same running in circles when I bought my first
lathe.
You are suffering from Analysis Paralysis. Don't agonize over the
details. You will learn what you need to know 1000 times faster if
you just buy one and start using it. You won't really know what you
want or need intil you do. What you think you are going to do with
it never is really what you DO with it.
