    Feeling very smug.
    Been CNCing my little bench milling machine for ages now and finally put a felt pen in the chuck and a piece of paper on the bed and nervously ran my first NC program.
    Touch off with the handset then pressed run on the code:

    Well Done, I'm still old school, I have a Bridgeport Mill and Harrison lathe at home, I made a CNC microscope once for a customer and was well impressed when it actually worked, programming takes a long time , I think I used Mach 3 program, most of my jobs are 1 off so would take me to long to program, and I don't like computer's
