EMC users
Paul Corner of BDI fame is preparing a world map with push pins for users.
He tells me that he has 60 or so pins in the map. If you have a PC running
the EMC, even if you don't currently have it connected to a machine, I would
encourage you to find your coordinates using the following link
http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabulary/tgn/
and post them to Paul <paul.corner@...> so that he can include your
location on the map. This site only accepts city or place names rather than
city and country so you may have to scroll down through the returned list to
find your place and then click on the link there to get the coordinates.
I put the first map of Paul's on
www.linuxcnc.org
so that you can see what he is doing. I'd like to get us all on the map.
Thanks in advance.
