I bet for a little more money you could get a more updated machine. The ones with the floppy drives are becoming more outdated and aren't as easy to use. Most computers don't even have floppy drives on them anymore to transfer the files to them. I'd go with something with a USB. The Designer SE is really nice, and the Quilt Designer II is nice too, you just need to get the extra drive and programmable card to transfer designs to your machine.
