For simple shapes, the machine is a marvel.  However, when I tried to put in a print-and-cut file of some megabites, it stalled out in the interface.  While it will still be useful to me, it will not be in the same way as I had hoped.  I gave the file to a Cricut advisor, but even he could not get the file to work in the software.  I asked that it be passed along for software improvements, but i haven't heard whether they even got the file, or if they did, whether they might work on the software to enable me to use it as I had originally intended.  So I'm glad to have it, but not as glad as I had hoped to be.  If would be nice if someone could get back to me about this issue.  If this problem can be fixed, it will save a lot of work for the business I'm starting.
