just a heads up, Wilcom is having a killer sale (i dont know that they do this often, no idea) "luck of the irish" sale--ends this Friday. Trade in your old digitizing software (any, dongle only i was told, have 60 days to turn that in to them while you grow accustomed to the new software) and get Wilcom ES v2 level 3 for "VERY AFFORDABLE". i dont want to throw around the numbers because on their site it just says call for info. but i bet you will be highly pleased with what they tell you lol...
I'm taking advantage of it--replacing my old 2004 melco software....
