Hi Ron I was going to get after you, you being a unix network guru and all, for having your PC set a few days behind but I see that you got bounced by Sourceforge. Hence the Tuesday post and Friday delivery.
The show and the open-cnc space sounds fantastic. I think the "plenty of room and electrical power" comment is aimed right at me and the NAMES fiasco from a few years ago. I'm pleased that the Cabin Fever folk see the value of providing for us. The EMC2 stepper configuration gui is coming along quite nicely, thanks Jeff and testers, so a seminar on it's ability would be really desirable. Wish I could find gas and lodging money.
