 Hello! i bought a mill with mach 3 cnc software and I'm hoping for some advise. I got the mill running but with an older windows 7 Dell computer. I got the x and y axis set and was working on Z when an ice storm damaged the computer so it won't boot. If the computer ran ok, and assuming it has a corrupted boot file which looks like the case, is there any reason to upgrade the computer? I am planning on buying the software license and also was considering the conversational add on, does it work ok? I can do it all via cad but sometimes i find it a bit faster and easier with simple stuff to do conversational. After i get the computer working, i would like a bit of help setting the soft limits, i watched the video on youtube but it hasn't sunk in. are there any other tutorials about that? Thanks in advance !!  John
