+1 (can I vote 100 times?) My 4 boys, 2 at a time were here to visit, ostensibly to help me celebrate my 80th. All 4 are, or have been in heavy machinery maintenance. My toy mill, carving the LinuxCNC logo, and my toy lathe running a G33.1 in a peck loop, blew them away. 2 of them are pretty good with computers but married to windows. I suspect that will change when they get a chance to change. Old age & treachery folks, I have to prove my boys still need to learn. > On Oct 22, 2014 8:00 AM, "John Alexander Stewart" <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > I'm always interested to see how "the younger set" build things. > > > > Quite often they use Mach3 - here's an example: > > http://www.buildlog.net/sm_laser/drawings.html > > > > Charles and Co. are doing great things with Machinekit and 3D > > printers, but, how do we get the "younger set" to use LinuxCNC more? > > > > I don't know the answers, but I keep pushing LinuxCNC in my own quiet > > way. > > > > JohnS. > Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
