    I just wanted to put it out there that I've been using  Model
    Master's Art2Part w/ 3 axis mill for about 2 years.  Not being very
    computer oriented- I'll admit that it did take a while to  not only
    get used to thinking differently about  the making of jewelry- but
    getting used to Corel Draw and  ArtCam was a bit much in the
    beginning- as well as file management.  But the more I used it the
    better it got- always discovering little tricks to getting around
    CorelDraw.. I will also say that any time I really ran into  trouble
    I got an answer to my problem and it was the right answer- things
    worked.  I recently went down to take a one-on-one class w/ Cecily-
    very intense.  I  came away with all the tools I had asked to be
    shown- and even more important able to use them  immediately! 

    Yes ..it costs a bit in time & money- but if you can't get this to
    pay for itself within a few months you're just not using it enough
    to  figure out how to incorporate it into your business.  Once
    you've past the  stage of figuring out & re-figuring every design &
    having to re-cut- in other words once you know what to expect- it's
    really a no-brainer as far as expanding your  repertoire. 

    To all those who have it and are not using it-- blow the dust off it
    & put in a few intense weekends- thing will start to happen.  If I
    can get a handle on this thing - anybody can! 

    Good luck & lots of fun creating new & intricate things!- Rona
