Dilbert the Engineer - Bad as Willie Nelson's song about being a Cowboy

Couldn't resist posting this. Most of you have probably seen my Dilbert/Ham Radio cartoon on my bulletin board.

Also, thanks to everyone for getting their Health Net applications done so fast. By November 1, we hope to make the switch.

We're actively searching out the next retrofit - this is the first time in years that we have a gap in the schedule. For the record, we WILL still do MDSI retrofits if we are asked (we have quotes out to Accurate, Triumph Actuation, and Triumph Structures for them). We prefer to do ones by Fanuc. I just found out today how much cheaper it is to buy parts retail from GEFanuc than it is to buy a them as part of a retrofit package. The A40/4000HVis motors we used at American Metal Bearing recently cost us $1,688 each. As part of a retrofit package with our current multiplier, it would have cost $3,399. I'm not sure it has always been this bad, but it sure makes me want to look around for used, newer Fanuc CNC's to buy without motors for our retrofits.

Look for work!
