Nice! How much?
wickedinhere
I paid 145.00 shipped
wickedinhere
Its ordered!
Charlene
Have you ever tried a Windows 7 computer with a table?
wickedinhere
I have only run it on a xp machine. You do know you have to have a parallel and serial port on the computer?
Charlene
Yeah, we know about the ports. It is just harder to find a computer that still has XP on it.
wickedinhere
Check out ebay they have a ton of used ones the one i got is in perfect condition and they do a fresh install of xp. I would also suggest getting corel drawx5 off of ebay
its under 100.00 and its the full version. let me know if you want the name of the sellers from ebay.
Charlene
Sure, I would really appreciate the name of the seller. You never know who you can trust on there!
wickedinhere
The computer guys username is"computerbase "
The coreldrawx5 guy is"blue-diamond777"
Charlene
Thanks! I will check them out tonight. As far as corel draw goes, do you use that in addition to the CAD software or in place of it?
wickedinhere
I use a few different cad programs, i use corelx5 and deltacad it takes time to learn them i am still learning.
Charlene
Thanks! I will check them out tonight. Now, as far as Corel Draw goes, do use it in place of the CAD software or with it?
Charlene
Is deltacad what came with your table? We got bobcad.
wickedinhere
I am not sure if i even got a cad program with my table, i just started with delta cad because its easier to learn.
Charlene
:) okay! I should plug bobcad into my current computer and see how it feels.
wickedinhere
Yeah i would try it. I normally draw and do my files inside then load them on a usb drive and plug it into my table computer.
Charlene
Thanks for the info on the computer. We got one too and it should arrive any day now!
wickedinhere
NO problem, I hope to get started on my powder coating oven today.

I picked up a Panasonic CF28 toughbook which is water and dust proof. I do all my cad on my big workstation and send it over the network to the machine.
