Ed,

    Yes this is a substantial savings up front but you will be hating
    life if you can't use the program and it won't matter what you spent,
    it will still be wasted.  I personely do not like anything about
    cimigraphy.  i know people that have purchased it and two years later
    could still not make what they wanted.  And no this was not an
    ignorant person, this was a very talented jeweler in Texas. 

    It would do someone very well to have an understanding of not only
    how these programs build but how you as an individual learn..  I am
    very analetical (sp)  I like things to build in steps.  I like things
    to be logical to the way that I work at the bench.  Many of the
    programs are just not that way. Most programs do one or two things
    extremely well a few will do more but Matrix is the only one that I
    have found that pushes the envelope all the time.  If another program
    does something better, Gem Vision will take the chalenge and meet the
    bar and then set it higher.  I know I'm using the one program that
    does almost everything well for me, not just one or two things. I
    also build mostley rings, and I can build them much faster in matrix
    than in programs where you have to build it flat and then tell the
    program to make it round.  Matrix is very logical to me and the way
    my brain wraps itself around building, so I don't mind that it costs
    a little more because I can use it well and it makes money for me,
    and after all isn't that the whole point.
