That's it! I could not remember the name.


Problem is cost of the equipment $175,000-and up (way up!). Also, the
tolerances of the prototyped part are typically less than desirable for
small Lego-type parts.

Yes, and the problem of securing at least $175,000!!!!

Hope this helps

Quote of the Month: (In Slate)

Al Gore: "Even though national security policy didn't come up, I
suggested that one critical issue for voters to ponder is this:
Whose FINGER do you want on the CONTROL-ALT-DELETE button?"

These are the same people who sued MICROSOFT, folks. If he is that
ignorant about computers, he should not be anywhere near controlling
anything, much less the United States.
