Vista sucks!! 7 is supposed to be pretty cool! We'll see! Back to the matter at hand though. CNC stopped giving a chit at X. I have been with three companies since X. Two very large, one very small. I'll go back to what I said 3 post from the top. IT NEEDS TO BE A PATCH WITH MOST OF THESE MAJOR BUGS FIXED. All the companies I have used MC at paid for maint to get the NEW BELLS AND WHISTLES. ALL HAVE BEEN SWINDLED IMO. As of this past weekend I've talked with programmers from the last two places and from 4 other CO's in my area. ALL are dropping maint at the next renewal. 37 seats in all. Glad I only pay maint on one. Still feel bent over!!!!! Hold the vasoline I like mine dry!!!! MC9.1 sp2 X2MR2SP1 Only two that do most of what they were sold to me on. XPSP3 64 bit 4 gig ram HOME BUILT WELL RESEARCHED F'N ROCK AND ROLLER of a box. IT ANINT MY HARDWARE. MN

The bugs in the last 2 versions have been the worst since actually adding multisurf!!! How about service packs so those of us who can not afford matinance for something that doesnt work can still get the fixes!! X3 flat out violates boundries and air cut like no other. X4 nothing but problems! I used to think MC wast the most bang for the buck and stuck by it since DOS. Yep that far back. Now it is just a lot of BANG that cost a lot of bucks.

Any plans for the future? Thanks either way!!! Mitch

Hey, Does anyone know if x+ can use openoffice spread sheet instead of excel? If so how can I make this work. Office is way too expensive for our small shop. Mitch X2 MILL3 X4 MILL3
