Keep in mind this is someone who has no small job shop experience and no actual machining experience... just a big company mentality on how things should be done. Even then, if you read "The Virus's" resume they removed "The Virus" from programming as it probably took weeks for "The Virus" to generate a simple program with a few holes and pockets. His resume shows he spent the last few years of his "legendary" career doing IT work. LOL.... and bob z thinks he has it bad with his IT guy.
What I find to be a hoot is "The Virus" insists that one must be a math genius to properly use a CAD/CAM system to design anything.
