Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Pierre, I never knew any of that about him, only knew of my experiences with him, I wasn't part of the other board you mentioned, so I hadn't been privy to that info. I would say anyone wanting to still use the old 3000 just do your research with companies that no the machine and are regularly involved with the use and rebuilding/repairing of them. My experience with IJDR was great and that's all I can go by.
Peirre, do you have a link for sigmo, it's always good to have options, and it's good to see someone on one of these boards with integrity. There are far too many people out there these days with a lack, there of. All the best to ya!Mike
