Cool! Hope you enjoy your new toy. I bought my first laptop
recently, still waiting for it, 250G HD, 1.4ghz dual core, XP pro, 3G
memory. I'll be able to play in the garage with the lathe and
bridgeport and stay connected to the net.

The RF45 is a good candidate for Mach3 conversion. I might end up
owning one some day.

The possibilities are endless ... CNC is some time in the future ,
conversion could easily cost as much as the machine . Baby steps first !
If you haven't played with a dual-core yet , you're going to LOVE it ! How
did you manage to get XP Pro? I thought everyone had gone to Vista ...
