Just a quick note today to say thanks to Jim for a great meeting this year, I think it may have been the best yet.

Thanks also to Michael Tyler and Tim Merrill for their as normal excellent presentations and to Michael Mezalick for his Vectric debut which was very interesting and inspirational. Other debutantes included Beki and Sara from Vectric. They did a really good job with their demonstrations (particularly for their first times in this situation) and I am sure it was a relief for everyone in the audience to get a break from me for a change!

I did take a bunch of pictures which I will post tomorrow when the fog of jet-lag starts to lift.

One other bit of unfinished business was Andrew Colholic's bench shape that he asked me about. Below is an image of version 2. Andrew if you read this drop me an email to jamesb@vectric.com so I can discuss it with you and get the files over to you, I tried emailing you but the address I have bounced so I guess its old (it is from over a year ago).

Cheers,
James

James you nailed it!

Would live to know the technique. I was already using new ideas learned at the camp last evening while working on some new files.

My email did change, the new one is on the new business card I gave you but it is ajcoholic at icloud dot com

Much thanks! Maybe see you in Atlanta. Lesley says I should go without her but well see. You know all about kids and babies. Don't want to leave too close to the event!

My thanks also to Jim McGrew, James Booth and all who were involved with the camp.
It was a unique pleasure to share my world with the Vectric family.
I can guarantee that there will be many more “interesting” item coming from us using the Vectric software..

Stay Tuned.

Best regards,
Michael

I was at McGrews too but I got distracted watching James play with the scanner
