So EMC guys are now liable for your $$$ losses due to your poor management, engineering, and implementation solution?

If I remember correctly, you took on a job without knowing enough about Linux, EMC, and who knows what else to finish your contract. Apparently you still haven't realized that. > documentation.

But there is a catch: you likely won't pay them as much as you would expect to pay for similar commercial products. Sorry, you're wrong here. DIY also requires KNOWLEDGE. There might be more support in the future, I'm confident that as soon as you and other similarly disappointed people dangle enough $$$ in front of experts, there will be different kind of support. A lot of OSS projects fork that way. Still, the level of support on this mailing list and IRC is at least as good as any other OSS projects I've been following for years. It always worked for me. I learned a lot from this group, thank you. Not having experience with real CNC machine of my own, I can only provide generic Linux support on occasion. Among others, I provided some feedback or suggestions to you at the time of your EMC fiasco. As Terry suggested, I'll be glad to take that "help" back and send you a refund to your Nigerian account as soon as you provide it. > Greetings to everyone and best regards.
