With a story this compelling, it's a shame that CNC ever caught on. Hope Joe still has a job!

    Oh, drat! 'Interesting stuff, but the film broke halfway through, then the projector lamp burned out. The nerdy kid who usually does the A/V stuff was home sick with mono, and the teacher didn't have a clue.

    You need help, Joe. You're a very sick man, Joe, and we understand that. We all understand your problems, Joe. And we're going do everything we can to get you the help you need, I promise.
    Now, lower the gun barrel away from your mouth slowly, Joe...

    The moment of rapture near the end brought tears to my eyes. I've always had a soft spot for hole drilling.

    Thanks for the catharsis, erco.

    That's one of those things that when you see it you say, "Wish I'd thought of that!".

    What exactly do you mean CnC never caught on ? I do not know, but I work as an application database programmer for a pipe fitting company, they have I would say over 100-200 CNC Lathes Mills etc.. etc... HUGE ones too I would say some of the machines are over 12 foot long and stand taller then 8 to 9 feet easy.... I could possibly get a picture for ya, if you would like to see....
