Truer words have never been spoken...by the way, where are you going with your 1 grand for the upgarde. I had found a web site, through this user group that still sold SmartCAM packages. However, when I go there it is no longer there.
The web site was called Productivity Group at http://www.productivitygroup.com And the contact was a Stacy Runnells at +1 (888) 297-1435 -----Original Message----- From: Bob Looney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 14, 2000 8:42 PM To: Jon Baker; Michael Senack; SmartCam Tech (E-mail) Subject: RE: [mfg-smartcam] Pro/Manufacture 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. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 14, 2000 6:00 PM To: Michael Senack; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; SmartCam Tech (E-mail) Subject: Re: [mfg-smartcam] Pro/Manufacture OK, so we are, in a round about way, discussing, (dissing) other CAM products. 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????
