I'm in love! I recently sold my 15 yr. old Viking Husqvarna machine for which I had bought all the attachments and embroidery stuff over the years. I barely used most of them because the instructions AND the machine were so complex, that if there was a time lapse between uses, I had to relearn much of it all over again. As a quilter I seldom used the decorative attachments, but did do some machine quilting. I agonized over selling it as the investment was steep, but then I realized most of those computerized gizmos were useless to me and I wanted something simple with a few basic stitches, but more importantly, something that didn't feel like I needed a hydraulic lift to get it up onto my desk or a PHD when I wanted to use it.

I purchased this software when it originally came out, directly from Radium Technologies, and was told I'd get free upgrades for life. I upgraded to the LC 2005 version at no cost a few years back, and now wanted to get this version. I have tried and tried to contact their customer support via their website since March 2015 because the upgrade instructions in the knowledge base are not working for me. I have had NO response from any of the FIVE support tickets I submitted whatsoever, despite going through the ONLY options they provide to get support. It is a shame as I really liked this software and would even be willing to purchase this upgrade, despite the' free upgrade' promise I was given, but their customer service is totally non responsive so I am looking for another program where I can get support if needed even though it means having to retype the hundreds of recipes I have input into this program.

I bought this bike back in late August 2013, had a car accident which led me to be unable to use it for a few months, but I'm getting back to biking and have hit 300 miles total with this back. It's my first good quality bike that I've had since I was 11, and I had a walmart bike which I promptly returned right after ordering this online from Bike Nashbar on a sale (totaled $360 at that time). I'm a programmer and know how to build computers, so I thought why not bikes as well? My purpose was at first for recreational, but then, the aspect of riding occasional simple trails coupled with usual road riding attracted me to have dual sport as my first real bike. Which comes down to features I was looking for, 1) gearing for the major climbs in my city, 2) disk brakes if I was going to ride in the rain, 3) suspension for the occasional trails, 4) not very heavy.

I just received and installed the crossbars today so it's a little early to rate how they function. This review is more for assembly and packaging and overall appearance. I ordered the crossbars on a Saturday and received notice that they were being shipped on Monday. They arrived on Thursday so it is what I expected. When I opened the package I found that the bars were securely wrapped with a plastic material and the ends had a foam covering to protect them. Howver, there was no protection inside the box. They basically just kind of rattled together inside the box. Since the individual bars were wraped there didn't seem to be any damage. There was a small plastic package containing the mounting screws. The odd part about that is that there were 7 screws inside the plastic bag and one screw was floating loosely inside the box. The package with the 7 screws was sealed so I don't know how the one screw was just loosely in the box. As usual, the instructions were kind of vague. They did mention that the longer bar goes in front and the shorter bar is the rear. However it did not mention that the mounting screw locations were different for the left and right hand sides. To be fair, it does state this in the Amazon listing but not in the mounting instructions that came in the box. You have to measure the distance between the screw holes to determine which is the left side and which is the right, and also measure the length of the bars to determine which is the front and which is the back. It would have saved some trouble if the factory would have marked the bars with a little sticky which state "front left" and "rear left". That would have solved some installation questions and simplified installation. The overall installation was pretty straightforward once you determined front and rear and left and right. Just line up the holes and screw in the eight mounting screws with a Phillips head screwdriver.

No such thing as a free ride !! All games are said to be FREE , but you get taunted to pay , pay , pay ! if you want more this or that !
