Alan (et al)

You must be reading my mail, earlier today I have been
speaking to Bill Griffin with the objective of settling prices
that US based Hobbyist customers can purchase Dolphin 3DCAM
direct from Bill.

We have come up with the following prices which are valid
until 1/Jan/03.

ITEM
PRICE
____
_____

Dolphin PartMaster, with 2 Post Processors. $395.00

Dolphin 3DCAM, with 1 Post Processor. $575.00

Dolphin PartMaster + Dolphin 3DCAM.
$795.00

Dolphin 3DCAM Upgrade price for current Partmaster users. $395.00


There will be a 3DCAM demo CD available for download
within the next few days. US based users not able to download should
contact bill@... for a CD and those outside the US should
contact sales@... .

Which brings up the question for, Bill Griffith or Michael Milligan.

I too love the Dolphin Partmaster 2 1/2d package and would love to
own the full 3d package. Is there any "special pricing" available on
this package for us hobby guys.

Thanks,

Alan Trest
