Unless you have the dongle and software to transfer your designs or are willing to spend the money for the design cards (to transfer your designs you will need floppy disks which are very hard to get, plus a computer that has the old technology (like XP or maybe Vista to run the software and has a floppy slot) If you have all those things then I would say keep it as maybe you would want to try embroidery since you have the accessories anyway.
