That is indeed an impressive collection of assault rifles, but what amazes me is the lack of tactical options. Where are the shotguns? Larger caliber rifles and pistols? Accessories? I can only imagine that there is more than just this one safe that is pictured. I would hate to be limited like that. Poor guy.

Going fine I recon Dave. Doing better than I deserve, I guess. I've not really had time to do any personal projects to share with the masses lately. I'm around here every day though, I just lurk in the shadows.

Word on the street is that he used to be a used car salesman back in the 70's-80's.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Computer freezes while running Mach3 - Windows XP SP3

Well, I guess I have GBS, also. Most likely there IS a drug for it, or at the very least, a lawyer willing to sue because of it.
I also had the same problem with the computer freezing up. I also stream music and all that other fancy jive your not supposed to do. Just like you, I NEVER do anything while Mach is cutting. I did uninstall everything not related to mach, trying to resolve the situation, however, it persisted anyway. I did manage to figure out the problem ONLY happened after I plugged in a USB stick. It might not happen for 5 minutes, or it might not happen at all, but one thing was for sure, it would NEVER freeze up if I didn't insert a USB stick. If I do have to transfer some files via USB, I reboot after I use it, and it runs purdy as a fluffy kitten.  Now I can listen to my tunes, and use Mach, with a lower amount of anxiety over doing so. Dunno if this helps you any, but it was worth a try. I'm not disagreeing with what BR549 said though, it's not really a good idea to use your computer for anything other than Mach.

I know what ya mean, Tweak. I really need a piece of machinery that's in the book, and 99% of the normal sales excludes machinery. But, as the saying goes...."want" in one hand and crap in the other, and see which one fills the fastest.

Why not adapt your own 3 phase motor to the current spindle, and use a quality VFD.
