You should try using a company PC where the only browser your able to use is
Internet Explorer and watch how fast the flash crap crashes IE and/or the
OS. I guess that keeps people from surfing.

I saw it on the TOH episode a couple of years ago. The claim to fame
was that you could use unskilled labor to make the copes. At the
time, they wanted about $2500 for it.
My thought was that I wasn't going to let an unskilled laborer play
with a $2500 tool. My next thought was that I could make a lot of
copes for that price.

You didn't miss anything. The video was a waste of time.

Flash only website. Clunk (hits the bin). All I see of those is a little
inscription [flash] at the top of my screen.

I filter all flash content because *so* much animated advertising gets pushed
that way, much of it is of a nature that is likely to trigger migraines in me.
(no, I can't play pong or breakout on the comp, either).
Won't have anything to do with people who try to do business with a flash only
website (their loss). Get filed under 'inept geek web designer'. :-(

They had this on one of the This Old House programs a few years ago... saw
it in reruns again recently. It seems to work pretty slick if we are to
believe Tommy Silva and TV!

I have, at Western Tool in Burlington VT. It was kind of cool, but probably
tough for even most pros to justify.
IIRC it was about $2K. Interesting but the sort of thing that you would only
consider buying if you were a contractor building a whole development.

With the advent of the compound mitre saw, hand coping took a big
dive.
I still cope most of my insides and surely cannot compete with this
machine for speed (they say 20 sec for a 4 1/2" Crown). If the quality
is there it will probably be the last straw for the hand-cut cope.
BTW- Most of the young fellas that do straight finish around my parts
don't even own a coping saw and have no idea how to cope anyway.
