Hardmill, all the higher priced softwares seem to be impressive to one degree or the other, don't they?
What I'd like to know is what any of these software companies are doing to promote their products exclusive functions or approach? Do they even bother to research what the other companies have already presented to the market? Are they "reinventing the wheel" and then turning about, and without researching, claiming that their software can do "x" better than anyone else?
To me, there's entirely too much hype in the whole CADCAM scene, hype and status about the brand name of the software, and I have no idea how the small business person can take the time to research them all, which means putting them to the test for a month each, before making a choice.
What advice would you give about this?
