Yeah, Saw that offering, I have to say I gave a good laugh when I saw another sysadmin moan about these things, I am also a CAD/CNC guy so I know all about the pains of these specific machines, I got my first of three in '99 and been using them since:) > Also, they wire in the UPS battery to a spare set of terminals on >the main switch. (Otherwise you can't turn it off.) They cut a hole >.in the side of the UPS to do that; we just left the battery >compartment cover off. Although I never knew what they did, I knew it had to be something makeshift like this:) Gotta love those boys... Hey, what CAM ware do you guys use? If you say Mastercam (like me) I think I'll puke... I use Siemens NX and others for design, and when I have to shift gears into a PO(steaming)S like Mastercam, it ruins my day. Our last machinist left a few months ago so I had a couple years where I only had to mess with it at worst cases, but now I am using it almost every day. I need a pencil to poke myself in the eye... jlc ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
