    Personally, I would like the crazy person at the controls to die with me rather than be a technician 1000 miles away.

    People reinventing the wheel always say their approach is more efficient. They forget that all the extra features they don't use (or don't understand) are just left out at compile time. So what they do is just add code bloat.

    Steel died because of short horizons. They stopped doing long term investments in technology and processes. Some on here will try to blame the unions (fair warning, I was a member) but it was more the fault of the stockholders demanding profitable quarters. The milling machines I worked on had vacuum tube based controllers in the 1970's. The Japanese were all CNC.
