Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Minimum reasonable computer speed?

Roy,

You are correct. I just like Mach2. With the cost of new computers down to
the $199 level I don't see the advantage of using an old slow computer and a
DOS program.

If Art had not given us his wonderful Mach2 program then we would need to
make other choices.

I just like to make sure that new members know about Mach2. Mach2 is
changing the world.

As far as I am concerned Mach2 is the only way to go. Of course it is just
my opinion.
