For those who didn't attend Westec, you can't appreciate what it's like walking in the main doors. The first thing that hits you is a wall of Haas machines. You can't help but walk into them. Three of the main aisles right from the front doors, go past, through or around their booth.

And for a Haas owner / user, the first thing you notice as you walk into the booth is that you don't have a clue what control they're running. In place of your old, familiar interface, there is a pastel colored screen with what seems like an overwhelming amount of information.

I can't say much more about it. You have to see it first. I'm curious what other users think of the new screen layout. Did people welcome the 10" LCD screen when they arrived? Or did they long for their old monochrome display?

Here's a video showing the new layout.
