I worked in the computer profession for many years too, often in procurement, so I know about pricing volatility. The stickler about EQ7 is it is SIX years old. That is ancient in the computer world. Something is coming over the horizon, you can bet.
But yep, EQ7 has some fun things that I can use right now. I keep thinking that maybe I can get by with Illustrator. But Illustrator can't auto print templates with seam allowances, sooooo.
I should enjoy what I can do now. Life is short. Besides, you all need an upgrade. I should open my software and expedite the announcement.
I wish we had a "like" button. So many fun responses.
