Gibbs | | From what I learned Gibbs is an excelent product and if I had money to burn that would have been my first choice but unfortunately I could not justify spending approx. $6000.00 for a basic mill package when I needed lathe also (an additional $1500.00 or $2500.00), it is from my understanding rated as to be one of the top systems out there and I must agree I have a friend who uses it on a regular basis at work & I've seen this system at work WOW!, too bad this system requires a hardware lock. But anyway remember you have to strongly concider what your intentions are with a Cad/Cam package you are concidering to purchase don't get caught up with comparing all the bells and whistles like I did, the hardest thing to do when in the evaluation process is to be realistic and take a look at what you are currently doing and what your plans are and why you are concidering to purchase this type of software because if you are not carefull you may end up paying good money or wasting alot of valuable time evaluating something with features you may never use. Ok enough of that.
If you are interested I still have and keep on hand a demo CD for Gibbs and a double VHS vidio pack describing the whole 9 yards about gibbs and its capabuilities if I see you at the flying field this weekend I'll let you borrow them for reviw just let me know and I'll bring them along.
