But, I am planning on retrofitting Roland's Bridgeport in his shop, and I don't know how much time will be spent finding the right connectors, etc. I will be driving up on Monday, so that should leave me plenty of time. Hmm, maybe I ought to bring my matrix algepra book with me.
I will be bringing my HP Laserjet 5M with PostScript and JetDirect ethernet, so that should do for printing 2d. Anyone going to bring a 3D printer? Maybe you don't WANT me doing this - nobody ever seems to like the way I write code. Maybe that is because it looks like my desk or workbench - cluttered beyind belief.
