Hello I am a shop teacher in McCreary Manitoba. We have a very small Spectralight mill with old Dos based software. This software is extremely frustrating for the students to learn on as it cannot import any windows based files, is extremely inflexible and is generally hard to learn with. Our school is from Kindergarten to Grade 12 with a population of 200. As we are such as small school obviously our budget is extremely low. I have very little experience in this area and am learning on the go. Also I am trying to upgrade our software and am presently looking for some sort of cad/cam learning package to help the students as well as myself. I am contacting various companies trying to find a cheap educational package which they might sell cheap or perhaps donate to the school. I was hoping that there would be some older packages out there that would be a big improvement over what we presently have. Any donations or help would be greatly appreciated and acknowledged in our Technology Teacher's Provincial Association Newsletter. Every year more of the schools in the province are buying these small mills for their shop programs so perhaps future sales would result for any company which could help us. I would gladly volunteer our school shop and mill if any company would wish to demonstrate their product to other teachers. If your company would be interested or would like more information please get back to me through email or at the school at 204 835 2083. Thank you Mike Annetts McCreary School McCreary, Manitoba, Canada
