Now you are calling me a liar. Don't. I can produce well over 1500 pages of
documentation, 1000+ pages of it related to linuxcnc, all printed in duplex
mode over the last 2 years as it gets dated and I throw it out and replace
it. Much of it with full color screen snapshots to illustrate the point
being discussed in the text. Drop by, and I will do 2 things, first putting
some of those docs in your hands so that you can see I am NOT lying, and
possibly put a very low cal hand cooler in your hand, or a cuppa coffee if
thats your choice, while I show off some of the other things I do around
here, some of which when out in public get lots of ooh's and ahh's. Its what
keeps me out of the bars.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
