Default Question for Iggy

How many times has this one been posted? I seem to have seen at least a
half dozen. Is there some problem with your newsreader, your computer,
or your news server?

I'll trim the quoted text (below -- uncommon for my postings to
bottom quote, but it fits for this, I think) to only what you posted --
but this should be enough to identify the article in question.

Good luck,
DoN.

Let me first say I don't disagree with your reasoning one bit. Just wanted
to point out that from another perspective for a different person another
machine might be a better starting choice depending on what they want to do.
I think it was a better starting point for me. I have 100% confidence now
that I can take a non working machine and turn it into a working machine.
If I had started out with the Hurco two years ago though I suspect it would
still be sitting under a tarp in the shop and I wouldn't have cut any parts
in all that time. Instead I used the Taig to make parts, and even to make
parts to take another small non-working machine and turn it into a working
machine. I will probably use the two mini machines to make any parts I need
to get the Hurco going too.

(I've even been playing with the idea of making mini machines for sale, but
incorporating some of the things I have learned to make them better for the
price.)
