    Mastercam popularity

    Is 9K alot for Mill+Wire? Seems pretty reasonable to me. Most just go with what they know, Why spend your time fighting thru a new software. I find Tech support is real good with my reseller. No complaints here. Plus you own it even after your maintenance is expired.

    My online auction did not go the way I thought. I had the machine inspected from a local guy first. When the bidding started it was on a timer countdown between bids.
