Welcome to the mid-month edition of our e-newsletter. I want to thank Paul Hahn for writing the introduction to the last newsletter and seeing to it that it got sent. My wife and I were out of pocket having our first child, a healthy daughter, Betsy Caroline Noland. Forgive my new father enthusiasm but having your first child at age 46 is a wonderful experience. Thanks to everyone for all the nice wishes.
Turning our attention to this newsletter, in this issue we have 5 articles from our regular columnists. As always, they deliver well-rounded perspectives for adopting and using 3D machine control. Also, for those of you wanting to quickly get up to speed, please click on the "Past Articles" menu item at the top of our home page. Here you will find 60+ exclusive articles and columns.
To serve you better, we will soon be implementing polls. These will be short questionaires that will let us know what you need and expect from MachineControlOnline.com.
