mwalach - Mike, I've built a machine - its in the photo gallery (System2) under High Seas. Currently using MACH2 and its a very nice program with some neat features. But I'm always looking for improvements and refinements in the software/integration - liked your interface - simple and clean. Very nice for quick fast use.
As a former instructor/teacher/trainer I appreciate your perspective - give something back - so cool. Also like the idea/model of release and beta test and small pricing too! Keeps the big guys on their toes and improves the whole system. I think a lot of the DIYers here are into the less than 10K system too! Any value added is certainly scarfed up! Best of luck and,

Jim
