Works for me ... err, it didn't.

Interesting how the company's desire to save on printer toner results in setup sheets which come prefaded. Is that a one or a two...? Hey, it only cost $30,000 to figure that out...

Not a happy camper,

Well, I disagree. Try running a Tosnuc(Toshiba), or Fidia. They are different on every level IMHO. Especially Fidia.

The Sharnoa Tiger is way different than anything else I've ever used. If I was weaned on that Tiger a Fanuc would be pure hell to learn. I had no problem the other way around.

YMMV.

Heh.

It's still a human error on some level. Changing the control wouldn't have made the set up sheet more legible at any rate...

Ya reckon?

Computerization merely means we can make a mistake in a fraction of the time, or of more complexity, than we could make it manually. Which leads back to one of my rants, that you still need the skills to know what the machine is supposedly doing, and controls are "generic" at some level: "I know what I want to do, how do I do it on this machine?" Which is different that the poor slob who only knows that you press these buttons in this sequence. (Even if I do have notes listing the sequence of buttons to push. Like to align everything after a power failure. We had that problem a lot with the Sabre, as it died.)
