Oh and while I'm here (OK I'm here a lot) I'm thinking of buying this rocketeer:

What model is this, and what do you think of them? I don't want to have to "upgrade" like I did with the 319k (bought a 320k).

It should tell you on the stitch length plate - it may be a German 401 or 411. Those will treadle. http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...s-t211311.html

Not a bit. It's very easy and really useful. Yes, computers are actually supposed to make your life easier ;)
Your computer possibly came with MS Office. If you have this you don't need libreoffice, because it usually comes with excel (spreadsheet program).

My friends threw a recliner on a bonfire once. Best night ever.

Hmm... I feel drawn to it. Not the least reason is that I collected the Rocketeer comics as a kid (they cost a lot less but this looks waaaay more fun) ;-)

Is it worth $60?
