They have what seems to be a well deserved reputation for high pressure
sales, promising the world and then telling you that it will be fixed in a
future release, and promoting the "buy now and you can save" routine.



AMEN to that. We were contacted by them and showed some small interest but
told them up front that we were NOT planning to purchase anything until we
had checked out the different packages thoroughly. We received no less than 4
calls a day, at least 2 E-mails per day and they even dropped the price from
nearly $4,000.00 to $1100.00 on the new 21. Now I HAVE used BobCad in the
past and they were telling me how much they had improved it, that it is now a
true post processing system, there were very few changes from the older
versions I have used. You still have to do a lot of editing of the NC file as
there is no way to customize what they call a post processor. It just seems to
be fancy macro, just like they have always had. The package is certainly NOT
worth even the $1100.00 they ask us to pay. I am still convinced that
Dolphin CAD/CAM is a MUCH better value and is easier to use overall.
