Bill,
I like to think of it as a form of artificial intelligence.
A good example would be if you didn't reference all the axis, then it is reminding me something has changed
since the last time used. Or if i change from absolute to incremental mode.
In some respects it is good, because i fool so much with Mach settings, and sometimes the reminder is good.
An OEM may like it since if someone where to fool with the settings then it would flag an operator.
Depends on the user to judge whether it adds value or not.
