Ditto... I went to NAMES for the first time this year. I spent
most of Sunday hanging around the CNC area talking to Jon Elson
and others. They pointed me to this group and re-kindled my
interest in CNC and computer controlled motion (includes robotics
as well as machines). I haven't had much time to work on it, but
I'm slowly gathering parts and materials to CNC my Shoptask.

I live closer than you, but Cleveland is still a little too far
from Detroit for a pow-wow site.

Question for Ray Henry: Will there be BDI installs, etc., at
NAMES next year?
