Craft Edge

that we want the freedom to cut our own files.

I hope this happens, its about time they wise up!

For me...........too little too late.

If only the folks who already have a Cricrap use the new program they won't make much money. They are coming to the party a little late and a little behind, they should have saved the money they spent on lawsuits and developed the program earlier! I don't think they will convert anyone back to their products!

Nope, never going back. There really is no comparison between the Cricuts and the the other cutters. I still won't be buying any Provo Craft products either.

BTW: I haven't seen the news about the program, but PC promised this kind of thing before Cricut Craft Room was released and it never happened.

I love my sizzix eclips and Ecal and MTC so wont ever buy another cricut machine or software. I still have my old one packed up in the box and not sure if I want to get ride of it or not. But I know I wont buy a new one.

Add one more to the mix....heard about the info, but I would bet my last dollar there will still be something that ties you to Provo and their costly products. No going back for me.

I don't think I'd spend anymore of my money on their junk that never seems to work the right way. I love SCAL and I'm glad I found it early on because I've saved lots of money and aggravation.

Oh well. I left PC back in 2011 and have not looked back. I really like the design freedom I have with my Pazzles machine. There is nothing in the world that would make me buy another PC machine or PC cartridge. I do still buy their cutting mats though, when I can find the original mats.

PC reminds me of a time before Microsoft computers. There were computer vendors who sold computers but you had to use their software only. They lost out big time when Mr. Gates came to town and allowed us to use various applications/software on his computers. PC is following a path to complete failure.

Well, you know their bottom line is control and money. However, if they in fact go this route, I bet it won't be any time that they are separating all of the images on their carts, and opening a big ol' store to sell them all. It's the only way they can recoup their losses at this point. And, they have some cute images; not my style, but lots of people love them.
Anyway, I'm glad to say that I never purchased a cartridge in the past. Fought off buying a bug for a long time, and finally gave in and got one on sale for $79. Then two days after I bought the cutter I discovered SCAL2, and the lawsuit had just occurred. So bummed!!! But, my brother-in-law had purchased it for his wife a few months previous, and they had never used it. She's just not a computer person, so they gave it to me. I used it for six months, sold the baby bug for $70 on Craig's list, returned the SCAL2 to my b-i-l, and am the happy owner of an Eclips/ECAL.
Compared to some, I got away easy!
