Looks impressive, I'm a bit worried that they seem most proud of it's MS Office interface :confused:

What type of parts are you making?

I suspect they're fairly simple if it's possible to write them by hand, in which case, you might be happier with something like CamBam which is very much based on the machining operations rather than creating a 3d drawing which is then interpreted to create the part program. There's a no hassle, full feature, 40 activation evaluation available at http://www.cambam.info/downloads/ - I'd try 0.9.8f - it's been fairly well tested.

It is still in beta but the developer is very responsive, there's a good support forum, it's easy to learn and it's pretty cheap.
