hi guys

First the computer is not on the internet and never has been except when windows was installed. There is no network interface card in the machine. It would not connect to the internet when I tried thinking there was some hidden wifi somewhere. What ever happened come from the hard drive.

I was able to delete the updates that had todays date and recover from the problem.

Then the power went off and I had to rewrite some gcode. Not a lot but stil...a lot better than a CNC opperating software reinstall at normally a couple of hundred dollars.

I don't have a UPS on this machine at the moment.

I really never had many issues with 7 or XP. The problems started with the updates.

I can go back to linux. It is very stable but a bit of a PITB if you don't use it every day.

We are now living in a time where products and services cost more and deliver less.

Photos of the damn thing finally working!



What amps look like at birth...lol



Cheers,

Billy
