I have a magic box for loading the blank cards for my Babylock Ellure. If you want to buy a new computer you need to know that the magic box is not compatible with the windows 7 on my new computer. When my old computer (with windows XP) gave it up I was lucky to have a windows XP laptop to use. Since used computers are cheap you might consider getting one with XP. I am happy with the way the magic box works. It is a bit akward to choose a design as you have to load each design before you can see it (if you don't like the design it's easy to delete). For the price it's good. To get designs from online I download to my computer and use the magic box to load my blank card. I usually put my designs on a flash drive so I have them in a safe place in case of computer crash.
