spend the 1 grand, it's the same GUI you're used to, works and feels the same, and you have FREE tech support right here in this forum. ps: you can't buy, implement, and tweak a new app for $1,000.

I use SC freeform, v11.5 and it works great for me. I also have an old seat of SC production Turn, V6.0, DOS. For the little I use it, it is ok, HOWEVER, it is DOS based, which puts a damper on networking, printer sharing, file name size, video cards, etc etc etc. SOOOOOO......... Do I pony up the $1000 to upgrade to prod turn 11.5, or is there some other simple 2 axis turning program that will function easily that won't cost as much, but is windows based. Any suggestions guys????
