A couple times I have been surprised when a user pops up, either a person I never heard of before or somebody well known on one of the metalworking groups, and says he's been using EMC for a number of years, sometimes on several machines! I think there are at least several hundred users out there who are totally "stealth", ie. nobody in the core EMC community knows they are using EMC! It was reported to me a LONG time ago that Sherline sold about 1000 machines with EMC software. I would have to assume that number is higher, now. There are certainly several hundred names that I know are somewhat regularly popping up on the emc mailing list discussions. Some of the users are doing real manufacturing or serious hobby projects with EMC, and don't chat much unless they hit a problem.
We tried to make a map where the users could place a pin at their location, I don't know what has happened to it. 80 names are listed in the SourceForge members list. But, those are only people who are registered contributors, and may also be obsolete.
