Beanie, thanks for the link. I hope PC takes to heart the requests of their users and lifts the block. Not holding my breath for it though. Hopefully Todd will be able to break it soon.

I had just read on the cricut site the link that was posted (
http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.a ... 01&mpage=1)....
I too am hoping that Todd will find a way around this issue but maybe Provo craft will listen to us as well and remove the block - doubtful but we can dream.)
I realize that these things take time to resolve... if the issue can be resolved on Todd's end. If not we may have to chose which program to use.

I don't think we have to choose. We just have to copy over the firmware for the program we want to use. A small inconvenience, but we don't have to choose one program or the other. Buying a separate machine in my opinion seems a bit extreme to me. I think the install is just a click or two. If I ever want to use DS again (doubt I will), I'd much rather make a few clicks than spend $300 bucks and have the inconvenience of unplugging and plugging in my cricuts, not to mention the storage space it would take up in my small room.

I am pretty computer illiterate - I don't want to have to keep installing and uninstalling the filmware.
And I really don't want to have to go purchase another machine either.
(So I wait.)

I can understand. Maybe we can come up with a quick reference sheet that has 1,2,3 steps it wouldn't be so painful. I don't remember how I did it the first time - I think the firmware installed itself when I installed the original DS CD.
