I think the project should be named
NIST Enhanced Machine Controller Second Generation

Feral,
I love it!
Just think how LinuxCNC would be accepted if Android was called
LinuxAndroid!
Or we had LinuxWeb as the main term for the internet.
How many people have heard of QNX? Not many. My first retrofit was
installing OpenCNC on a 5 axis Cinci. QNX was the underlying realtime
system. I showed a Fanuc service guy how to boot it up. His face had a
shocked look on it when the boot up was finished. He said the boot up
screens looked just like the fanuc control when booted up. We don't see the
boot up screens of the fanuc control when we start it. The service guys
sometimes see them.
QNX is everywhere and has been for a long time. I don't know if Fanuc runs
on top of QNX but it wouldn't surprise me.
Heh - we don't claim to be marketers but some of us can make parts and some
of us can write amazing code. Either group is a very small subset of
society. I am proud to be associated with members of both groups. I always
like to associate with people much smarter than me.
Heh

Call it LegitCNC to really get the point across.
If anyone ever questions Linux, tell them to get off the internet and put
down their Android phones.
That's what gets me about masso. It's touted as this great plug and play
system and doesn't even support g41/g42... It's crap if you ask me.

The shop owner's hesitancy was caused by the name LinuxCNC. The use of
the
term Linux gave him the idea of a less than capable control.
We used to have "Enhanced" in that position. Perhaps we should have kept
it.
