2cd Annual Mach3 Convention SE (MCSE).

[blackbeard52]

Since Galesburg is cancelled has anyone proposed something else? I would consider one in Louisville KY. I have about the same building space available as Cardinal.

What????????? Are you on the right thread?

Ludluger,

Please get OUT of my thread..... This is a Mach 3 Convention, Please start your own thread somewhere else instead as being that rude.

Sad News........

I am cancelling the 2cd Annual Mach Convention South East.

The main reason being that the Army Guard in which I serve,
as of last drill has increased our Drill dates and moved up our deployment date,
back to Iraq. My suspecion that the Army decision was purely political, since the
current ruling party, has said they will pull out. The Army has a budget they want
to keep so they are gonna move us up and out before it is cut off. That is my
unoffical but probably accurate guess as to the "Real Reason".

In eigther case, sign-ups even at the reduced price was only 3 people I know it is
because everyone is scared to death of the Solist Economy they are forcing. This close
to the date I just cant risk being on the hook for the rental and not even breaking even.
Further for the months after my proposed the Community Center starts getting into
renting out its Gym for local sporting events which would make it difficult to schedule.

Digital Machinist has Contacted me and asked to Roll my event into thier event.
They have plans on taking over the "CNC work shop" since Roland is no longer
gonna do that. Location of the new event is as yet undisclosed, and at any rate
may be rolled forward to next year. So I suspect that I will roll my event
into thier event next year depending on where they decide to have it.

If they decide not to include my event for some reason, then I will reschedule
my event for next year, if I am in Iraq at that time, then I will hand off the event
to another teacher.

Payments: For those of you that have paid, I can send you back your fee or roll you
forward to the next event, I will send you an email for your choice.

I realize you have no way of knowing this, so you have to go with what you see at the time. But there are probably quite a few like me who have waited till closer to time to sign up. I went to the Mach site today to do just that. Saw the "canceled" sign instead. Missed it last year by way of sell-out. Maybe you could come up with some kind of non-refundable sign up deposit so that you could have more confidence in the turn out. Maybe $25. Anyhow, I understand. Be safe in Iraq.

To bad Scott, I was realy looking forward getting started on my new machine with Mach3. I planned a complete vacation from aruba to the smokey mountains. Please let me know what other options i have to learn the basics of this machine with mach3.
thanks and keep safe.

They have moved us up from in the early quarter of next year to the ending quater of this year (moved up about 4 months). So I will be here a little longer.

Options to Learn: www.machsupport.com
Under Downloads, (I think), they have put up the "NEW" Mach3 manual that is a great place to start, also on the site they have "Subject" Videos, like how to get started and config and things like that.

Like I had Mentioned. "Digital Machinist" had contacted me about us doing a "Joint Venture", since we both had offered to take over "CNC WorkShop" (Since Roland has retired out of it). They are far, far better set up to do the "Event Organization work". So I told them if they want to take it over and roll me in that is fine with me. As long as, it is not to far from my location, if it is to much of a logistical problem then I will do my own thing again. In eighter case it looks like no one is doing anything this year any way. I think we are all waiting to see what the Bozos in Washington are gonna do next to further ruin this country, and try to make it into thier vision of a Socilist Utopia (obviously with them in charge, where the rules apply to us, but not to them).

I have a question: If we are all equal under the law, then we should all be able to choose NOT to pay our Taxes, for 4 years, and get a free pass just like Gietner. Isnt it funny that crooks get to be in charge of the very organization that they broke the law under (IRS). ...........

It looks like we now have Legal Precedent, if it is OK for him then it is OK for us.
