Fred,

Your use of the "May" word is interesting here, as "may" and "may
not" are functionally interchangeable.

On your webpage you make a statement that implies the port of DeskCNC
software to the ncPod is to be expected, rather than that it "may" be
ported - I quote:

"Future enhancements include stand alone operation from SD card
memory with no attached PC required and DeskCNC port."

Some further clarification is clearly in order (both here and on your
website) so that you don't mislead your potential customers on this point.

1. Will the DeskCNC software definitely be ported to the ncPod, or will it not?

2. If it will be ported, what are the timescales for that to happen?

<<For the benefit of the moderators, as a current user of DeskCNC,
currently running with both 1st and 2nd generation DeskCNC boards,
and also as an owner of an ncPod, clarification of the above
questions is very relevant, and should not be interpreted as vendor
bashing. When the 'pod appeared without DeskCNC software support, I
felt somewhat let down; if the talk of future support for DeskCNC
software proves to be vapourware, I will be extremely disappointed.>>
