Barry, I program for 3 shops that use PMill Cimblock and Panelfronts, the shop owners just don't frequent this group. The three shops are within 75 miles of me, I rest assured that there are plenty more wood shops running PMill if I have three this close. FWIW, there are several cam vendors who are offering to buy out your Smartcam stuff in trade for a new seat of their software, maintenance, and upgrades (remember all those things?) Michael
