a buddy of mine just went to a manufacturing show near chicago yesterday. mastercam was there with their demos on hand. the company he works for gave hime the ticket to attend. along with the ticket was a little badge to wear with a upc code. when you ask for info the ventor will swipe the badge and automatically get your employers info. well when my buddy ripped into the mastercam vendor about how useless mastercam x was and complained that the software was crashing at least 30 times a day they got a little offended. since the mastercam sales guy could not effectively defend mastercam in front of a room full of people he chose the next best thing. he called up my buddie's employer to complain about his attitude and try and get him fired. so i guess since mastercam can not put up they try to shut you up. fortunately my buddy has outstanding skills and his employer also feels mastercam x is useless junk so he was in no way going to lose his position.
