Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Vector Cam

ha! I dont mean to keep the thread going as many would want it to stop
cause its getting nowhere fast.
My point, "Not taken very well", is Hobbyists shouldnt have to spend that
sort of cash for it.
Its ok though. Its the software businesses loss, not ours.

Remember that Microsoft started in a Garage. Cheap software sales and now
EVERYONE has a copy, and the key is they all Purchased it.
Cad software, priced out of reach of the little guy only gets Pirated... I
know Vector is reading and my message to them is, "Thanks, for putting your
package somewhat within reach".
