DS has some features which are easier to use and are better whilst other software also has some advantages. We have many customers running DS and have never had a complaint about the standard fills or custom fills. The independant computer is advised for the AMAYA machine as this computer is the interface for the machine, and should be treated as such. Above spec computers should be able to run the embroidery applications as well as other programs, however every now and then there can be clashes and this can happen between other applications also =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
