I did NOT have that on my Bingo Card at all. 

I had CAD/CAM Consulting, MLC, and another big one that escapes me ATM surviving. 

Guess I ought to rethink that.

Especially after MLC spent a decade hoovering up a bunch of regional resellers, I thought they'd be big enough to hold out.  But I guess even though they became a bigger blob, they weren't big enough to not get blobbed by Sandvik.

Yea looks like my local MLC guys are not affiliated with Mastercam anymore. Too bad, they were really responsive and good to work with. I have not had the same experience with the Mothership.

Attention Mothership. Prove me wrong, please.

[Zoffen]

No way.... EH?

[SuperHoneyBadger]

Well, here's the ting, bahd. We're gonna be real nice aboot it, probably not do too much but keep payin' and whine a bit. Maybe threaten a letter'r'two but not get 'round to writin er. Sometimes you gotta pull up the Manitoba Mukluks and just ride the moose, you know?
