James ... teh going from Mastercam to Mastercard

"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier not the poet, who has given us freedom speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag" Father Denis Edward O'Brien, USMC "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight: nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions and blood of better men than himself." John Stuart Mill

Ya know, I believe that it's not 'civilized' to fly planes into buildings, and MURDER innocent people. It's not 'civilized' to GAS and POISON innocent people. Because of 9/11, I believe that the rules for the United States have changed. We needn't wait to be slautered, again, before we get pissed. I am pissed. Doesn't our troops having to wear chemical suits tell anyone all they need to know about Saddam? Ya, I know, the liberals will say, "That's all he has to protect him with from the U.S." Well, go whistle with that argument. We've started these ALERTS of different colors. Doesn't that tell you all you need to know about what's going on? Going to the Airport, can't even see your friends and relatives off anymore. National Guard and police at public places. Doesn't that tell you all you need to know? Are we willing to continue giving up our Liberties, just so we can "get along" I don't want to get along, I want to do whatever it takes to tell and show the world that you don't mess with the United States. You can bicker and fight with each other if you want, but don't mess with us. And for now it seems that going after and getting these people is the only answer. Talking at the U.N. won't get it done. Why is Sadam leaving the Iraq an option? Isn't he a mass MURDERER? Isn't he the biggest destroyer of the envirnment in the history of the world? Why isn't Killing him and his ILK an option? I really want to go on-and-on, but.......... I've lived in America when it was free, and am willing to pay and sacrifice as necessary to go back to the way we were before 9/11. The rules have been changed, let's play by their rules, for as long as it takes.

Keith, Home sick today, but your post made me smile...

Marc, o-o-o-ch good question !

To those Interested.... I have been as fortunate as possible thru this site to have four local inquiries. Now it's up-to-me. We're a lucky group to have found each other. THANKS for your help !! Ed

Rob, Thanks I will Zarb That's Super! It's on it's way. This is sure helping this lousy week ....

David That's terrific. My resume will be delivered by e-mail shortly. Thanks for looking at it. Jim, I'm not able to do 5 axis yet. Am currently enrolled back in the local college though to further my skills. I'll tell all you people, this is a terrific place .........

Tony, I am indeed looking, but, not yet ready to consider Illinois. I'm in Salem, Oregon. However, I must tell all you guys and gals, This is a SUPER SITE. I've enjoyed it and learned some things between the banter that goes on. Tony, that's a terrific offer by you, I'll remember your name. Thanks a bunch

An open plea to everyone.... Our company is in trouble, due to the 'economy stupid' I was laid-off for lack of work yesterday. This has got-to-be tied for the worst thing that can happen. Can anyone help? Do you know of any company that is in need of a MasterCam Programmer, or Machinist. I will relocate. I will consider anything. It sure would be nice to find a company that 'cares' about their employees, values their contributions, has a clean shop, and furnishs enough tooling to do the job. (Am I joking or what?) If you have any help to give and don't want to post here please e-mail me. My e-mail is: [email protected]

Chris M. I don't know the answer to your question, but u sure made me smile with your comments.... Here's too ya......... If we're so smart, how come we live in the city, and cows live in the country

This happened to me once.... was trying to renumber a 'read-only file' Changed attributes, and wham-o renumbered fine. Good Luck....
