Funny, I've only ever heard pretty much the same things. Yeah Vector, boo
BobCAD... But I received a copy of Vector with my Sherline mill and spent
several hours trying to wade through the quasi-english tutoria and never
actually got the first sample part right in Vector, let alone *my* part, G-code,
etc. I just gave up. Insane as it sounds, it took me less time to had write
the G-code...

Training CDs sound wonderful. But A) you shouldn't need 'em (or if you do
it ought to come with that package) and B) if BobCAD is more difficult and
quirky than Vector, oh my...
