sarge 0 #1 January 5, 2004 Since the 'AggieDave 2000' seems to be retired I was looking at getting a new packing machine and I came across this NS-5 packing machine and thought, "Hey! looks kinda cool... how much? Anybody know? .-- I'm done with the personally meaningful and philosophical sigs!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 3 #2 January 5, 2004 Uh, my guess is it's probably over $100 million. I don't think it's available until next July.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydivingchad 0 #8 January 5, 2004 All I can say is it would be pretty cool and expensive if it were true. I don't think the technology is that refined for freestanding robots yet.

quade 3 #12 January 5, 2004 The absolute best part of the web site is how "Apple iProduct" it is. Everything about it totally rips off Apple marketing from the last several years. If you have a broadband connection, make sure you click on "See Our Commercial".quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here we go again with another, "Anything-cool-in-computer-technology-is-an-Apple-Rip-Off-thing" Story....

sarge 0 #15 January 5, 2004 Quote I'm serious! Well ok, kidding aside... I have no idea of what FOX Studio's holdings in Apple are or any other agreements that may have been made between Fox and Apple? Decades old issues (between Gates and whats-his-name-Apple-Guy aside) have been cause to raise controversy that has brought comrades in arms in defense of Apple over trivial matters... thats all. I just thought the NS-5 would make a better packing machine...? little did I know it would be so expensive. .-- I'm done with the personally meaningful and philosophical sigs!!

riggerrob 561 #21 January 6, 2004 At the 2003 PIA Symposium, a French company lectured about a packing machine that they built for the French Army. Sorry, but the first generation packing machine only packs rounds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
