What is JGRO?

I've been on this site for quite sometime, and I've been wondering what JGRO actually means. Any insight?

JGRO is simply the username of the guy who created the open source plans for our machines.

That's it?!?!?!? I've been wracking my brain, looking at all the componenets used, trying to find the meaning to the acronym. grr. time wasted, lol

Yup, that's it...

Here's his profile: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/members/jgro.html

If you looked at the plans, he's signed each page JGRO.

My first name is John, my last name is Groeschel. When I first got a internet connection, I used the username jgroeschel. I changed ISP's and I couldn't use jgroeschel, because it had too many characters, so I shortened it to jgro. Been using it ever since

John (aka JGro),

Thank You for posting such detailed plans - that got so many of us into building our own CNC machine. The JGro is still a very accurate and reliable machine, and a great "springboard" into bigger machines.

Thanks again for your contribution,

Joe
