General Mach Discussion / Re: New people welcome !! Come in here and introduce your self!
« on: September 28, 2008, 03:53:46 PM »
Howdy,
I am finishing up my desktop CNC rig based on HobbyCNC plans. I would prefer to use open source software
(like EMC2 under Ubuntu) but have had some significant patience issues on my part. I plan on giving Mach a try,
if it works like I think I am seeing, I may have to get over my dislike for anything Gatesian (based on his Open
Letter to Computer Hobbyists from the 1970's - dinosaurs like me have long memories) and just get the job done.
Getting into CNC as a hobby. ... Jack in TN (near Nashville)
