I am considering a Plasmacam purchase. I'm a hobbiest.

I got the DVD and brochure from them, and see that the PC requirements are, essentially, out dated. Windows systems that are years out of date and unobtainable new, as well as a parallel port that most PC's no longer come with.

I can cobble something together, but my concern is what this says about the company. Are they not dedicated to keeping up to date? What happens 10 years from now when it's impossible to meet those requirements? Are they a company on the way out?

Any thoughts?
