  If that other sysadmin was on this list, that was me.  :)  Pure
coincidence.  Someone was complaining about crappy help desks and
software, which naturally made me think of Thermwood.

  Get a barf bag ready then.

  The CNC guys use MasterCAM, yah.  Also Rhino3D, AutoCAD, Alibre
Design, and Verisurf, but mainly MasterCAM.  What a wonderful piece of
software that is.  Best thing I can say about it is that it's not as
bad as Thermwood's software.  It's been fun working out a proper set
of file permissions to let the users run it without enabling write to
the entire set of program binaries.

  I'm not a CAD/CAM/CNC guy.  I'm just the poor schmuck who has to
deal with all the integration issues.  Plus IT seems to inherit some
issues just because it has a PC inside it.  Or near it.  Or if it uses
electricity.
