I think it will be easier to learn, if u take it out the box and use it..... Also the sooner everybody stops fannying around and gets going with it the sooner the bugs will be sorted. (private thoughts not intended to offend) Geo.

Crazy Millman. You can send a message to the person who brought the item, should not BSA try this? Only joking Gcode......

Gcode, does it work OK?

For interest only it was brought by someone outside UK.

If I hunt him down and he has as much software as he says he has he may become my new reseller. LOL Geo

also he has only been a ebay member for 2 weeks. I have a feeling if you sent your money (he wants instant Payment) I dont think you would hear from him again...

point of interest hes got 100% feedback for buying none for selling very strange if he is selling this stuff.

No Brendan aint got the book or the CD . just common sense. Ha Ha Geo.

Of course X sucks... It requires learning and some study in order to get anything out of it, it will not come automaticaly. it has had some very experianced people as beta testers real CAD/CAM programmers working on it Me I am as thick as a short plank, however by reading and pratice I find that I get on well using the demo until my ungrade comes. I see from your profile Randle. that you call yourself a Toolpath Engineer I have a feeling you could not stand in the shadow of guys like Mike Mattera and the other beta testers. In closing I would like to say thanks to the beta testers for all the effort they have put in, and apologise for the morons they have been working for. Yours thicky Geo...

come on. black on black, have a go.

Anybody think they have come up with some cool shaded screen colours?

Thanks. Geo

Sorry should have asked my reseller today but forgot, can you still use Cimco g code editor and MCU in X Regards Geo

Impressed enough ordered my upgrade to X today. Geo.

Reinstalled both now running without any trouble must have been one of those strange things that happen. Geo

I was running both all day with no trouble then all of a sudden 9 stopped, maybe I will try and reinstall X again.

As in lets go and buy a pair of shoes dont matter if they dont fit !!!! I feel a bit better trying them on first. Geo

John. HASP 4 found so its not that, Thanks for the idea. Geo

Thanks John. I have had to reinstall V9 now its working again, I have uninstalled X demo. I think your idea sounds good I will check out my hasp. Geo

Help. I have been running X demo, go to use V9 and cant find hasp, uninstall X, now V9 has incountered a problem and has to close. what has gone wrong? George

Oh yes.. That is a bit better, Why struggle when you can make it really hard.... Thanks Gcode. George.

Gcode. Interesting thing to do is put 9 and X on a split screen together and you see that 9 now looks quite dated...Get lost quite a bit in X but using online help you can see all the new features and start to think yea thats a nice idea.Hey can you lend me any money. Ha Ha George.

John, I think its just like driving a new car few extra knobs and buttons but overall far better than the old model. Ha Ha George.

Just had a couple of hours playing with the X demo CD. Wish I hadnt done that, I think its really good, Now I have to rob another bank. George.
