I just read the whole thread. There are "not too expensive" ways to solve all the problems. #1, get to know a good techie. Listen and learn from him/her. Both of my computers were custom built for me. Both can be upgraded very reasonably.
We just have to wake up and go with the flow.
Think this is a little harsh....it is the software that was an issue for me, not the sewing machine. I believe it was when the operating system went from XP to Vista that the software was not compatable, I was told by Brother that I needed to buy the new version for $800......just because my computer crashed and I had to buy a new computer and only Vista was available as an operating system... so I purchase a simple used laptop for $100 with the old XP....I am all with waking up and going with the flow, but really have a hard time spending that kind of money on simple embroidery software....
