+# What if you could click on this image and have the CNC machine move to
+location you clicked on?
+# What if you could load your GCODE on this image and place it anywhere on
+your machine bed?
+# What if you could rotate it if needed and move cut paths arround to fit on
+the workpiece without re-exporting the GCODE?
+# All this and more has been prototyped and is possible, and I'll show you how
+and demo it in this video.
