<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hey Cecil - let me just take that WAYYYY off topic. Touch screen. I work with CNC machines. We found a niche where we purchase older machines and refurbish them to make our parts, and we still wind up at a small fraction of the cost of new. Three machines that date to 1989-1991 have control panels that look a bit like an airplane cockpit, just a sea of knobs and switches. Once you get used to it, they all make sense. We recently got a "new" machine, a 1997 model. Very sparse control panel relatively speaking. All the functions are in there, but I have to call up menus to make the changes that are a flip of a switch on the other machines. I decided it must be a cost thing. A couple lines of code in the operating system versus the cost of a toggle switch, the cost of drilling the hole, and the cost of running the wires. That's quite a few dollars cost to the machine mfg per switch, and there's a lot of switches. My actual problem with this is training the employees. We have a lot of "old dog, new trick" problems at my workplace and the guys are pretty used to the toggle switches.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>SO</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jan 22, 2020 at 11:18 PM Cecil Bearden <<a href="mailto:crbearden@copper.net">crbearden@copper.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>The ridiculous ting is that the setting is on a touch screen
instead of a switch.<br>

You can toggle a setting that allows the lighting stalk to be
“normal” brights on/off or be auto dim on/off. But it’s a touch
screen setting and 3 menus down....
