I would have to say it's more a matter of one's "comfort zone". Some folks are drawn to high technology like a moth to a flame and others may simply not find it's for them. This is why it's so important for an individual to do their "Homework" before investing in such an interesting industry. I salute you, Bob, for participating on the list for this long without an Amaya. I'm certain you'll make the decision that's best for you.

I know that all embroidery machines use a combination of electronics, mechanics and software but the Amaya does take it a step or two further and sometimes, maybe simpler is better ..... or maybe I am just getting a little too old for all this new technology ??
