I still use the mouse which of course can be used to control everything.
switches are just cool.
I use all the controls whenever the mood strikes.
A little quicker to just reach out and flip the switch.
most of them are controlled with keygrabber and the 2 usb controllers.
hava a little tutorial here.

Now I guess I can't say that I was never shown how to do that!! That is about as good a teaching video as I have ever seen man. I really cannot wait to get this machine running, it is like a sickness now. Bummer tho, I stripped the machine all down to the metal and painted it with some paint my paint guy recommended. Stripped it, primed it, painted it and let it dry overnight. Now I started to pull some of the tape off and found that the paint just peels right off the metal. The primer is not the right stuff for the application I guess so I gotta strip it all back down tomorrow and then repaint it again this time with some more appropriate metal primer. Any of you guys got a recommendation for the primer? The paint I used is some Urethane enamel that seems to be very good stuff. I kinda cheated and did not prime the little factory handle mount that I bored for the floating end of the X ballscrew. I basically forgot it when I was priming the rest of the parts. I then just shot the paint on it and would you believe the paint is really stuck on that part!! I read the container again and it said that the paint is made for bare metal like sheds and stuff like machinery like the mill. Perhaps I will just paint the damn thing without priming it next time. Bummer is that I got it looking real nice and the paint matches the extendable arm I bought for my monitor about perfect. What would you do? peace

Only two things to say about the control panel demo video:

1. Obviously you have now achieved "optimal combat self-sufficiency." Roy would be proud of you!

2. Had to go smoke a cig after. I am so jealous!

That gives me an idea for the new mills console, a Voight Kampff machine clone.
I could run the mill and test for replicants.

I am a big fan of ambient music and the love theme from Blade runner is awesome... Vangelis is the master and I cannot beleive that the only thing most people know him for is the song from Chariots of fire. Rutger hauer is really disturbing in that movie as usual and Harrison ford is at his best... GREAT FLICK and one of my all time favorites....peace

Sorry, missed you question. I got mine from an automotive paint supply house way back in the day. You might have to get somebody in the bid'ness to get it for you due to more stringent reg's nowadays. I'm not sure if you can buy it online due to shipping issues. Figures, the good stuff is hard to get.

I've heard about etching primer available in a rattle can but haven't tried any. A Googly search will bring up various suppliers & names.

I also liked Vangelis' music for the Cosmos series with the late Carl Sagan.
Now if I could just get around to making me my own Blaster!
