I understand. My wife has an embroidery machine, although a PC isn’t directly linked to it. She has a hub she attaches via USB with which she can transfer patterns to a machine data card. I just bought her one of those small Dell Netbooks. Now, instead of using my laptop, she can use her own PC. Yeah!
Mine is a little older but does run by direct link via usb. I can either save to memory or save to the PCMCIA card. Does she like her netbook because I was thinking that it would be nice to have one of those because of the XP and if I drop it it is only a $400 loss and not thousands!
