How bad is economy?

[chinnbob]

I just received Version 9 today! Yeah! But I guess the economy must be pretty bad because I got Version 8 mousepads with it. I guess there wasn't enough R&D money to design new ones. Guess I'll just have to wait until V10!

Its so bad at one shop that the owner runs machines, sweeps floors, packs parts,goes on the road trying to get sales, & digs out chips inside the machine, & during lunch makes every one power down there machines so he can save money on the electricity. & forlunc he eats and spam sandwich & a apple every freakin day !

At this one shop its so bad that there are 5 machines, 3 machinists and occasionally the boss or engineer can run a larger job. The machinists are all lookin to leave and if that happens it would sink that ship, guess that the man is blessed with understanding people.

Maybe they are just trying to get rid of old inventory and you happened to be the lucky victim, errrrrrr, recipient! I like the V8 Mousepads, they're still cool. I did NOT like the V7 mousepads though (my kids seemed to dig it though) , I still have a V6 one that I use with my laptop, it's cool too.

Your lucky to get a mouse pad !!!. I did'nt get one when we got our first seat of MasterCam V8 mill level 3 and wire

[gcode]

Did they even have mice back then

(Level 3 ???)

 

My first CAM system (Anicam) had no mouse

 

A toolpath was entered like this

 

RAPID P1

Rapid p1[z-.5]

left comp

feed L1, C2, L2 etc

 

I thought I'd died and gone to heaven when they came out with Anicam 2.0. It ran on and IBM PC

and had a mouse

I also received the V8 pad,I'm ok with it.

I have an extra Ver. 8 if someone wants it. You pay postage & $40.00 handling. It is an antique now.
