I got my first Bernina, which is an original 830, 40+ years ago. No computer on this baby. It is still sewing up a storm. I do own a Bernina 44QE which I love; but couldn't part with my "oldie but goodie" when I bit the bullet for a sewing computer a few years ago. I have a featherweight singer and it is great: but Singer is not what it used to be.
