     Yes I agree . M-CAM Creates the tool paths so I haven't had to know 
the language .
It does help to know some of the standard codes that come up on the 
screen of the HAAS machine.
 Maybe it doesn't help ,but I wont feel as dumb. I don't have many hours 
on the CNC Mill,

You were courageous to bring up the back to school issue. I was thinking 
of the question you asked. I have been attending again.
I minored in rhetoric( philosophy) at NAU  Flagstaff, Majored in PSYCH. 
In '91.
I found that most phil. professors have a personal agenda, And stay away 
from the Existentialists
Like Sartre and Nietzsche. At least that was the story at NAU, Nothing 
against Theology, except when the department's theology nails the door 
shut on certain  discussion. I should stop now. Have you ever read any 
of Bishop Barkeley (sp)?

Any way, I am going to be fifty Y/O this year. I'm freekin' out! I 
thought about training for UFC cage events but changed my mind. I have 
decided to return  to school for some freshening up instead.
Community college you know.
Industrial Design doesn't sound to bad. 
Enough
Sorry if I have been offensive, I am ant- social you know.
