		<description><![CDATA[At the February meeting, Mark Miller demonstrated a neat little program called Sidekick.

Sidekick is a reference program for the Mechanical Engineer. It basically consists of a number of reference screens with information on screw data (metric and imperial), holes, wrench clearances and more.
Best of all is the price - it&#8217;s free! Download it from http://www.cwattsdesign.com/Sidekick.htm
