I bought mine locally. I love my EQ. I haven't played on it for a few months now with summer being such a busy time with camping and hiking and catching up on quilts to be made to teach in Sept. but hopefully this Fall I will be back on the laptop and creating. I only bought my copy back in April, so I am still doing tutorials. I really want to play with it more and actually make some of my own designs!! That will be one of my goals for 2009!
