this may have potential

Has anyone seen this site? Unfortunately I have a MAC so i cant do the download.
Seems like if one of us were to design something, and the rest of us were interested in purchasing a copy, it wouldn't be too difficult to mass produce it. Prices appear to be expensive but drop off sharply with quantity.
Seems like we could even make hard to replace original parts, or produce our own cold air boxes or sway bar mounts. Its limitless!
The site is www.emachineshop.com

Looks pretty damn cool, pity, I've got a Mac too, and no virtual PC yet.

I've had the software for quite a while, the drafting portion leaves a lot to be desired. I think you can directly import autocad files though, if that works out then very cool stuff.

Drafted several parts up for myself.
Problem I have is the cost.... It is worth it if you make say 10+ parts.... but soome of them are simply easier to fab yourself than pay for them.
I do have a dual thermostat setup I designed for the 20B.. but I really dont see a market for it at about 30 dollars MY cost.. for 10 of them.
I made several brackets etc for various uses on the FC.. and really just cant justify the cost VS the time it takes to knock one out in the garage/shop.
IF you were going to make something in volume.. then I can see its merits.. BUT... you would be better off contacting a overseas contractor.
