    Re: Skyfire CNC owners?

    Congrats on your choice- with your level of experience there won't be any big surprises for you and you can get right down to work. I was just in Hannover last month for the EMO show, and Haas had a decent display, but nothing compared to Mori- who took up an entire building. No Tormach or Skyfire to be seen.

    Yes, It's the biggest show and a huge venue. Well organized with buses to take you from building to building- a lifesaver for my old knees that logged 10 miles in 8 hours. Mori was amazing- they even had little info kiosks set up at the airport, train station and subway. I embarrassed myself about halfway through the day when I went into a coffee shop to rest and get a cold drink. I ordered from the girl at the bar and when she brought the drink I asked how much and she gave me a funny look- Turned out it wasn't a coffee shop at all, but a "refreshment center" for Mori people and clients. The girl gave me my drink and refused any payment.
