Every generation has likely said that since language was invented. Maybe earlier.

For example, I'm sure back there somewhere in time grownups were lamenting the fact that their children would never know how good a stylus and papyrus were for writing. Or riding a horse, or ringer washers, or party lines, etc., etc.. I have a good friend that I can safely tease about his love affair with old cars and the 'good old days'. When I start in on the crappy materials, mechanical design, and manufacturing methods he just rolls his eyes and says "kids". While I'm off drooling over the new Z06 and dreaming about going mach 2 with my hair on fire (what hair I have left...) :)

Still, there are some things I miss as well.
 
Apple app store has a bunch of apps, but as I only have small manual machines I question the applicability of some of the feed/speed calculations. Mostly I just use a scientific calculator on my iphone for dimensions and angles and stuff. :)
 
I may be wrong but it seems Apple dosn't have as many control program's as M.S for automated equipment ?. so should I keep the old ms stuff , Not that I'm a Apple fan or nothing ,but the last
ms tower I had got several different size "lead drilled holes in it ". and made a big mess on the front porch this was in AR ). Sometimes me and these things don't get along real good :bash computer:
Guess I outa hang on to the ms boxes with ? On them, What's the best OS for automation control ?.
With a Small foot print as Storage Space is getting low
Thanks
 
O yea I have 40ac in AR. No one was close,
