Rick,

I could say so much about the advantages of CheckMate. Yes, the cost is big but not unjustified. To smaller companies I can see why they would pass. Lapeer Metal is a tier 1 supplier. Even still the cost paid for itself in less than a year. At $70 an hour to out source layouts, minimum $400 per job, it was adding up for my company. Then we got CheckMate. Last year we tripled the amount of output from my lab and have already passed that mark for 2001. Tell you what, I'll try to contact you today. Say around 8:00 your time.
