Greetings from Hamburg!

I've just bought (though not yet received) a laser machine, as well a few BOMs worth of components for up-front modifications.

My plan is for it to complement my leatherworks and electronics hobbies as a tool, though I suspect it's likely to become yet another hobby as well.
*looks at time spent planning*
Ok. Yes, I guess it already has. Dang.

A few other infos about me:
Hobbies: IT, Electronics, Leatherwork
Job: IT Project Manager
Formal training: Computer Science, Business Informatics
Languages: English & German (bilingual)

I'm generally quite happy to help, so feel free to ask me if you need any assistance with programming/IT related issues.
With electronics and leatherwork I might also be able to help, too, but I'm no professional.
Oh, and translations from/to German of course.

Welcome Gerald- you will appreciate our English translation of the RDworks manual I think, settle in and read what you can and when you get your machine, ask any questions you man have. It is a lot of fun but can be frustrating as you get up to speed. Gene
