Welcome Aram in case my previous responses weren't all that encouraging. And free as in zero cost is not a major consideration to me, its far more important that of these two lists, the huge majority of the coders who "make it work" are right here to answer your questions. They have, and continue to share their knowledge with the old fart that I am. Legit problems reported are generally addressed by a fresh download in 48 hours or less. Compare that to getting a straight answer out of the Redmond monolith. That would be nice, as they would not be so much a newbie when they arrive at this list. ;-) But they will arrive here eventually. I was one of those myself, most of a decade back. Still am at times. :( But, I would also like to see it catch hold in the tech/vocational schools, which are often geared toward teaching troubled teens carpentry or auto mechanics or some other aspect of the workplace they will have to live in in the future. Teaching them a MODERN trade, both in machining, and in creating the machines to do it with, strikes me as a win win situation for society as a whole, regardless of ethnicity and such. Heck, I could be interested in trying to teach such a class but I couldn't keep up a 5 days a week schedule at my age, 79, if the drive is 35 miles one way as it would be for the nearest such school around here. I could see a two year class for credit and potentially testing for accreditation if there is such a thing. ?? One Community College in Norfolk NE had such a program in the early '70's intended to generate a few C.E.T.'s, which I am one of. But I blew the prof away when I walked in cold and asked for the journeyman level test on the day they had announced as test day. And aced it, in about an hour of the 4 they gave to answer 125 multiple choice or draw it questions. None of his students had managed that even at the apprentice level in the 5 years he had been teaching it. I was then keeping one of Nebraska ETV's UHF transmitter sites running well. So I had plenty of what some would have called exotic experience, as klystron amplifiers are to most, some sort of black magic. That was 42 years ago. So ask away, someone here will be sure to have an opinion. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
