    You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D

    I may not agree with such blanket statement, but this is outside the scope of this thread and forum. Of course, for a Mach3 user with parallel port nothing is better than a W7 32 bits, but regardless, the PP is a dinosaur so it doesn't matter.

    When using metaphors it's always good to be reasonably representative, I think the point of Dinosaurs is that there are no live ones at all, unless of course you know of many thousands still running around somewhere? :D

    I'd have gone with Indian Tiger or something else where there is still a functional population but where long term prospects were not good ;-)
