Mike,

No way I'm giving up my Vista. Well, after two months of retirement, I'm finally adjusting. I bought a new Corvette just to cheer myself up :-) That really got rid of the old retirement blues! I sprung for BobCad. I really like it, not because its so great, but because its the only CAD I've ever used so I don't know any better. The tutorial video was about as useful as boobs on a boar. So I printed out the text version and was able to get a design of my own as far as running a satisfactory simulation. I haven't figured how to set the software up for a Tormach 1100. BobCad's list of machines includes everything except the Tormach. If I have to buy a Post, there will be a nice BobCad appearing on Ebay!
