Testimonals - Share your word with the world!

Hello everyone!

I am putting together a testimonial section on the site and was wondering if any of you would like to share your experience with the Make The Cut, Make The Cut Support, Website, etc... anything MTC related!

If you do not want to post your name/location, no big deal! I will just use your forum username. I just have to have proof you said what you said for legal reasons and what better way to have it in a thread for all to see!

Again, this is only if you want to -- you do not have to do this!

Thank you, everyone! You all rock!

Ok..Have my Expression ..which was alot of money..one cartridge...economics keep me from purchasing more.
but Make the Cuts gave me the ability to have as many carts as I wanted with out spending hundreds of dollars..
It is user friendly ... yes I trial tested the other programs but the learning curve was over whelming ...
Besides with MTC ..I can ask a question or mention a problem and the programmer hisself will answer.
Try that with any other program.. you will get unanswered emails.. sit on the phone on hold..
I am loving MTC

I have had my Cricut Expression for over a year, I've hardly ever used it! Many, many cartridges but those tiny keys. So, enter Cricut Design Studio. Awesome, easy to use, large screen on my pc....BUT limited to ONLY design and cut with the cartridges I own! Argh! Enter, Gypsy... (Christmas gift from hubby) ... transfer all my cartridges..easy, design on the go, sure ok, but ... small screen, still only can cut with cartridges that I have purchased! LIMITED, LIMITED, LIMITED! I've spent tons of money and still there are limits to what I can do!

Enter MTC (Make the Cut).... so super easy to use and for the price of what I would spend on one, one mind you, Font Cartridge, I now have unlimited capability to cut any font I want! Not to mention ANY and I mean ANY image I want! I used the Demo version for 4 days to really give it a try and found the MTC forum. Asked many questions and not only got tons of help from great and friendly folks, but had the designer of MTC himself, actually answer my questions and offer help. Now that is support.

In my opinion there is no other program (SCAL, Gypsy, Cricut Design Studio, etc...) that can even come close to how great and beneficial MTC is! Updates for life, great forum online, designer who actually LISTENS to what we need, users who share their svg, mtc files, oh my goodness I could go on and on. I've had my MTC for a little less than a week and have already made my first word book! I've used it every day to design projects that I will soon be cutting! I'm actually putting my Cricut to good use now!

I LOVE my Cricut, but ONLY because I have my Make the Cut!!!

MTC is not only useful to scrapbookers. It is useful for businesses also. I own a bridge club and use MTC and a Cricut to make uneraseable signs with vinyl for things I want permanently displayed on my "announcement" white board. The signs look professionally done, and don't rub off or get accidentally erased when I change upcoming events.

I purchased SCUT before I found MTC, and still use it sometimes, but the support from MTC makes it stand out. Andy listens to his users and is very cooperative with answers and timely updates. MTC is well worth every penny!

I brought my baby cricut when they first came out ...on the release on the expression had to have that as well!! I now own more than 60 cartridges, Design Studio, SCAL, SCAL 2, the gypsy and MTC. MTC is the one that I find I use the most...Not a day goes past when I dont use it, mostly for card making or for making things for my classroom. It is so easy to use and the support is awesome.
Thanks Andy.

The Biscuit Scraps

Make the CUT didn't come on the market any too soon. I was one day away from purchasing another program I had been dragging my feet to purchase because I really wanted something I found intuitive and easy to use. Andy came out with MTC and in just playing around with the trial version for 30 minutes, I knew it was what I had been looking for. I've own a Wishblade and now a Cricut Expression. I love the cartridges but think they are way overpriced and wanted the same access to TT Fonts I had with my Wishblade, plus an easy way to create my own designs through tracing that Inkscape does not give me.

Thanks, Andy, for listening to what we want and being so responsive in making a great, intuitive program one that continues to get better and exceeds our imagination...leaving us more time to scrapbook instead spending it in a learning curve.

Make the Cut program is fantastic, easy to use, but if your not computer saucy don't worry, it has a lot of tutorials, videos, written manuals, members websites, and the forum, many members are so glad to help out. How about me? I didn't know what I was doing, everybody goes thought that stage of not knowing what to do at first, but learning the program makes it so fun.
The inventor Tucirc (Andy) of Make The Cut forum, very helpful, and really on the ball to help out!!! Andy's thoughts & ideas inventing this Make The Cut program just amazes me!!

I love my cricut for all the school projects, PTA and sports posters, and of course, scrapping that I do for myself and my family. My daughter has made 3 scrapbooks for the high school sports teams and I made the initial investment in my cricut 3 times over not buying all the embellishments...I love everything about it on all levels but I needed an image for a theme that I couldn't find in a cart. I have been hearing about the other software for a while but really didn't have a need to jump in until now.

I happened on the Make-the Cut software, listened to a few folks on this board and on youtube and didn't hesitate to buy it that hour and it had been out for less than a week. Not only have I not looked back, I tell everyone how great this is! When my daughter said she was sick of the very limited cheerleading images(2 or 3) that are available on the carts and wanted to take a trip to the craft store, I made up the investment in the MTC software then and there!!!! I had dozens of images at my fingertips in an hour and even more when one of the forum members knew I was looking and posted more!!!! Now she has plenty to chose from and it only costs me the price of the paper!!! :) How great is that!!!!!!

MTC is very user friendly, the gallery is wonderful and I can't believe how willing to help everyone is on this forum. While all that sounds nice, the true value to this software is the developer Andy. He is right in there trying to make this software great for his customers. I have seen him respond to the simplest request and work on it like a dog. He doesn't charge for updates(are you kidding me!!!! ...the value triples in that alone!) and he is right in here listening and responding to everyone. Talk about old fashioned customer service and value. I am so happy I found this at the right time and would whole-heartedly recommend it!

I make Wedding Stationery and find my Expressions invaluable for this to be able to size things as small or as large as I need to carry the whole theme through a wedding but to be able to make my own files too? well that was just amazing as I can weld and cut initials and entwine hearts and all sorts of things, I really can cater for everyones needs : ) Thanks Andy

I am a longtime SCAL user having it since the day it hit the open market. I saw MTC and figured why not I'm game I will give it a try. I love it! I still use SCAL also but with the 2 programs I am unstopable..... now if I could just get off the MTC forum long enough to make something

ladida

Hello,
When I read the post on the Cricut MB that there was a new program called Make the Cut I was very curious. After reading many posts on how easy this program was I purchased it and I can tell you this is one of the best things I bought! With every update there are several tutorials and whenever I have a question or problem I can ask it on the MB and I will get a respond.
If there are potential buyers of this program and they want to ask something regarding MTC in Dutch or German I am most willing to help.
Thank you for making such a wonderful program!

Over the last three years I have bought almost every thing cricut related that has been released, but I still felt hampered in my design ability. I use my expression for doing personalized stationary for weddings, showers, or any kind of parties, scrapbooking, card making, cake decorating, glass etching, cutting fabric. I had started toying with the idea of buying the other program but I tried using a friends and had a real problem getting past all the extra work needed in inkscape. I belong to several blogs and received info about Make The Cut right away when it was introduced. After trialing the program for a few hours Christmas evening, I was hooked! I had to have this program! It was so user friendly and even I who am almost computer illiterate was able to understand and create with it, with almost no learning curve. In the few short weeks I have had this program I have used it so much I have made back the cost of the program several times over! I can't imagine what it will benefit me after I have had it for a while. And I haven't even talked about the customer support, or the free up dates for life, or that you can put it on two computer not just one, or that any question that comes up someone will have an idea or answer. I could go on an on (and I have!!) This program has in a short time become the best addition to my creating endeavors! Pam Ryan allhoneycreations@yahoo.com

I'm playing with the demo version of MTC and enjoying it's ease of use, etc. My only concern is where/how I will get the SVGs I want to cut. I searched my computer and don't have any SVG files. Are there more files available with the registered version? Thanks, Katrina (nomem@aol.com).

craftydiva

you can do a google search for svgs also in the MTC program there is a gallery

nomem

Thanks. Was hoping there were more files/options in the MTC gallery.

Better late than never on this?

Over the last several years, I have bought 2 Cricuts, 60 cartridges, and a Gypsy but always felt hindered by the cartridges and wanted more. For about the last year or so, I have been wanting to use a third party software but I was so reluctant on SCAL, it just seemed too hard when I downloaded the trial version. When I saw that SCAL2 and Make the Cut had come out, I downloaded trial versions of both on my computer and started to play. With SCAL 2, I found myself having to Google and You Tube videos on how to do everything, with Make the Cut I did not need to do that, it was more intuitive and much simpler to use. In fact, Make the Cut has completely turned it around for me and now I am the one making the tutorial videos. It has restored my love for my Cricut and made me excited about the truly limitless possibilities with my crafting. And that is not just for scrapbooking, I have made cards, which I do not normally do, and look forward to ething glass, cutting fabric, and using vinyl for my walls. And with free upgrades/updates for life and a developer who is so responsive to our requests and is always building in more functionality, I know I made the right choice!!!

I am brand new to the Cricut and craft world. I bought my Cricut Create hoping to be able to cut many words as learning aids on songs for children (on posters). I downloaded the free trial of CDS (Cricut Design Studio) and started to mess around with the Don Juan cartridge knowing that was the only one I could cut from. I was also running searches on websites and blogs about Cricut to see what else was out there. First, I came across SCAL, which sounded pretty good compared to CDS, but the "new upgraded version" was x amount for an upgrade or y amount for new users... every upgrade would cost me money? Hmmm. Thankfully, I came across the mention of MTC (Make the Cut) and downloaded a free trial. I was hooked! It's so easy to use even for a newbie, and any questions I could have I look forward to being answered quickly on the MTC Forum. (I went through the forum from last page-25- to first. Whew!) There are so many wonderful and helpful members here willing to give any support. Andy, the designer is so quick to answer questions and concerns. Opening up the possibilities of being able to use all the TTFs out there and so many other file types along with free lifetime upgrades (Andy made about 3 upgrades just during the times between page 25 to 1 as well as upgrading the gallery and the forum). Another thing that amazed me was in all those posts, there were only two that could even come close to being snippy (and one of those I didn't even catch it until both participants were apologizing). This is truly a group of wonderful people who love and support a wonderful product. Thank you Andy for designing this software and making it available to the rest of us. You have opened up the possibilities on our Cricuts to an amount only limited by our own imagination (and if you imagine it and ask Andy if it's possible, he does try to make it happen).
If you are curious, download and try the free trial for yourself, visit the forum, ask questions. You too will become a believer in MTC.

I've had my Cricut for at least a year now. Barely touched it. Was using my Pazzles machine exclusively because I didn't have to purchase cartridges and had flexibility. I love MTC and I'm using my Cricut like crazy. Theres so many free SVG's and most of the WPC files I did purchase contain SVG files as well. I love the forum and the vidoes the users have put together. The software was an easy transition. There's still some things I need to play with but I'm having a blast. Thanks!!!!

tanyanegoy

Hello, I am new to MTC but I have already know that there is no any option which allows users to mark the scoring lines. Hope that in new version MTC will have it.

CATS_PURRRFECT

Hello Andy....I had my cricut machine for about 3 1/2 years already...I have DS software way to limited..I also got the GYPSY from my hubby for x-mas...Limited also i got SCAL about 2 months after i bought my cricut loved it...but there features were WONKY and had to MANY bugssss...Still to today you cannot UNGROUP an image when you bring your image in SCAL you have to BREAK APART witch intern makes all those tiny pieces seperated...soooo all that work i did in inkscape lost ...at least you added the option to SPLIT witch i LOVE!!!! because all my pieces stay GROUP nicely.. and SCAL ONLY lets you put the software on 1 computer...SUCKS bigtime...SCAL also asks for money everytime they have a GREAT cool feature ....YOU DO NOT..hahahha ...... .also you have added way to many things better then SCAL...Sooo what i am trying to say is THANKSSS !! Keep up making us HAPPY...YOU are a GENIUSE..

CHOW!!

Pepacat

I have had my cricut for six months and was keenly investigating the SCAL software to purchase. I finally had time over Christmas to consider downloading the trial version when your product became available. I have to say I have found MTC to be a very user-friendly programme. From the first time I opened it, I have easily understood how it works, and have been able to cut without any problems. I am even able to make my own designs, simple though they are at this stage - all thanks to the very generous people on your forum. On the other hand, when I downloaded the trial version of SCAL I had no success in starting it at all.
I am so very excited about the possibilities you are opening up. Thank you Andy.

khufulu

My Mom and I got our pink expression in December, we were so excited by the infomercials..... but then we started pricing carts, WOW! We almost returned it to the store, lol! Then I was browsing youtube vids and came across someone who talked about Scal-2..... we were about to buy it, luckily I found a video that someone made about Make-the-Cut...... we tried both in the sample program, and the choice was easy, Dad plunked down his card and it was ours! We both loved Make The Cut!
It is such an easy program to use, much easier than even the cricut cartridges. I love to be able to position my projects and see where they are going to be on my mat..... I hated guessing as you do with the carts until you know what you're doing, lol!
Make-The-Cut is so well done and easy to understand that even my 7 y.o. nephew figured it out! :)

Thank you so much Andy!!!

I have a Craft Robo. It sits in the corner collecting dust. Last year I got an Expressions for Christmas hoping to jump start my scrapbooking creativity mojo again. This was good. Pretty quickly I discovered Design Studio and found a lot more leeway to be creative but still had to have the cartridges. After telling myself I would NOT be buy lots of carts, I bought more than I should but loved the ability. I was researching SCAL to expand on that ability. Fortunately a friend told me about MTC. WOW!! This is what I needed all along!! THIS is the software that truly unleashes my Cricut and my own creativity. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! My only regret is that I didn't discover this software when I first bought my bug.

Thanks Andy!

My husband purchased the CE for me over a year ago as a gift. This past Christmas he asked me if and when I was ever going to use it. Well, I dusted of the dust bunnies and told myself this is the time to get my crafting mojo working again. To get started I went into Yahoo groups and began reading the buzz about MTC. Didn't even try the trial version because I knew I goimg to go through all the websites looking for good deals on cartridges any longer. ( Heck this program was cheaper than one cartridge). I had major problems installing the program because of the firmware but went to the forum and Andy was right there to help me. After quit a long time on the phone with Provo it is now working. The people on the forums are wonderful, crafters usually are!

Thank you Andy for saving me hundreds of dollars and getting my creative juices flowing again.

I need some encouragement here. I just bought MTC this week and have been fooling around with it. If SCAL has a steeper learning curve, I can't imagine how anyone uses it. I'm thinking I'll never get the hang of this. So many people say it's so much better but I'm struggling. Would someone clarify for me just what type files MTC handles? No .scal I know. And I need to learn how to do the .pdf thing too. Trying to stay positive!!! Thanks everyone.

Mary, Mtc uses SVG files, but can also use jpeg, gif, png, these types of files need to be traced to use, which is a feature in MTC, called Twain, whereas the SVG ones you can just pull them into MTC and layer, split, or whatever it is you want to do.........

waterrabbit

Actually Twain is used when scanning an image directly into MTC from a scanner. When you're importing a jpeg or other raster/paint image, it is just tracing!

Mel

My wife got the Cricut for Christmas '09 and we were going to buy SCAL when I saw this new software advertised. We checked out the trials of both, and opted to buy Make the Cut for its ease of use and features. We are very glad we did, for there have been two updates with great new features since we bought it. And, very very few problems with using the software - a rarity for this type of software. User tutorials, interface with the gallery, responsiveness of the developer -- all of these make this a great product to use. Our cuts have looked great and the boolean additions, smooth cuts, shadows, etc. etc. make this a most versatile product. We would recommend highly -- you won't regret your chase.

TashaLee

I just had to add my "2 cents". I bought the big E about three weeks ago. I was having a very difficult time deciding between the other program and this one....I bought this one and I am SO HAPPY! It is the coolest thing ever, so easy to use, and understand! I can hardly wait to do so much more! Thanks so much for creating a wonderful thing to use with my wonderful Cricut!

april

I started out with my cricut personal cutter in '07 and upgraded to an E this year. I've had CDS for about a year, and although I found it useful for welding and wasting less paper, I still found it difficult to use. The overlay displays were many times too small to see, and there were too many "hidden features" that made you rely on people on the MB to help you figure out how to use. I finally found myself fed up with CDS's limited capabilities and did a lot of research on SCAL and MTC. I found SCAL's overall interface kinda strange. All the individual "windows" that moved around or in my case, disappeared entirely, made it quickly frustrating for me. I decided on MTC.
OMG!!! I have had SO MUCH FUN learning this program (something I never experienced with CDS) I am amazed at the amount of features this program has and it continues to expand with requests made on the MTC forum! What an incredible Idea! Actually LISTENING to the people that are using the program!! What a change from the Cricut MB where thousands of requests go into cyberspace never to be seen again! This program is the best out there in my opinion!!!! I LOVE IT and never cut w/o it!!!! Thanks Andy!!!!! You Rock!!!!

Marjo

This program is absolutely amazing and so much easier for me than SCAL, however, I do still use that also. I have appreciated all the updates. And there are so many tutorials which I find very helpful. Andy, thanks for providing us with this!!!

ScrapGuy

Make The Cut is an extremely easy to use and capable program. Andy does a phenomenal job at continually improving the product and providing great support. Also, the community on the forums is extremely helpful in answering questions, providing tutorials and doing webinars. Andy has built a great community and written a great program.

I love this program. I am so pleased with it. I haven't used it much and I am still just a newbie, but it is worth every cent. I just downloaded the 2 heart frame because I have been looking for something like that for 2 weeks. It is cutting as I am typing. I also love the new upgrades.
Thanks for sharing all the wonderful ideas and for giving us something to be excited about.

Sheri_in_TX

I just have to jump in again and tell you what happened today. I had 3 friends over who wanted to learn more about their CEs. They each brought their bug, their laptop and 2 even brought their Gypsies. I started by teaching them the main buttons on their bug, ran through the DS and made them comfortable with their software. Then, I did it. I showed them MTC. Within about 30 minutes, all three had logged onto my wireless network and purchased MTC. We then spent the next 30 minutes going over MTC.

I have to laugh. Your software is SO user friendly that even the lady who is the least computer savvy among us left here excited about all she could do with it.

You really have a great product here. Thanks again!

All I can say is WOW! I've had an Expression for 8 months and had been disillusioned with it. I was planning to purchase a different machine. Make-the-Cut is great software and it has saved me a ton of money ($500.00+ for a new machine). I've used the Expression more in the last week (since I purchased this software) than I had in nearly 8 months.

The rendering of bitmaps to vectors is fantastic and the program even does a better job of doing that than my pricier illustration program.

As for service or questions, I had never experienced this high level of service before. Between access to the programmer and the user forums, questions are answered in no time at all.

Thank you for such a great program.

I do have to say that after I recieved my Cricut Expression for Christmas, I was so excited, until I priced cartridges. All I could think was that my CE was going to collect dust and not be used because I couldn't afford all of that. Then I found MTC...a true blessing for me. I am amazed at the things I can do and am so pleased with the program that I am recomending it to any one with a Cricut. My Cricut hardly ever sits still now, I have made shirts and posters and am almost ready to start using vinyl. It was well worth the money, less than the price of the cartridges, and I don't have a single moment of buyers regret!!

mathandhistory

I have had my Expression since January or February of 2007. I started with the Personal Cutter but exchanged it at Wal Mart after a day or two. I've loved it and have many cartridges. I bought DS after a month or two. I have been recommending the Cricut to friends/coworkers (teachers/principals) all this time. Many friends have bought them, and my mom considering getting one for my sister in law for Christmas/birthday (also a teacher, 3rd grade). Last summer at a conference for math teachers, I took my Cricut to show the others. One of the teachers bought one. In November, she complained that she was wasting a ton of paper. She did not have DS. She then bought it. This Saturday, we had a follow-up meeting and she told me about SCAL. She loves it, so I decided to look into it. I was about to buy when a scrapbookers website had MTC listed too. After looking into it, I made a very easy decision. Just playing with it, I LOVE IT! Haven't even made a single cut yet!

aries1950

I want to say I have lurked this form for a while reading and testing this program and it is truly a great program for beginners.I am a tightwad as I said earlier but I am gonna take the plunge soon.I did 2 exact same svg in both scal and mtc and guess what,the scal one went in the garbage and I have the mtc one .So anyone wanting to know which program to use and the best its MTC..

MADE THE PLUNGE!!!Gift from hubby for Valentines Day...

Tristi

I got my Expression for Mothers day, and could only afford a few cartridges to go with it. I felt SO limited in what I could do with it- especialy with fonts. Finally I decided to take the plunge and get Make-the-cut! I'm SO glad I did! I feel like the possibilities are endless now- I love it! And I didn't even need to update my cricut to use it- I just downloaded the software and it worked right away. LOVE this program :)

Scottie

I love MTC! I have been lurking for awhile and finally purchased the program on Valentines Day. I have been having a great time learning how to use it and I am constantly amazed by all the possibilities this software has. Thanks Andy and everyone on this forum for all the helpful advice.

Kris_in_Alaska

I can't believe I haven't put anything in here yet! I thought I had but better late than never (like stackyscraps!). I got MTC two days before Christmas... I don't think it had been out for very long then. I've had my Cricut since early Spring and have been teaching classes with it and DS (I am a fast learner and read everything before buying anything!). I'd considered SCAL but honestly didn't want to learn Inkscape too. Saw the ad for MTC... downloaded the trial version... bought it the very next day! There were some issues with MTC's first version but the FOUR updates we've had since then have eliminated many, many first problems! And ANDY is here on the forum with us, listening, asking, and DOING what SCAL and especially CDS never did... LISTEN to those who use the software! I haven't used DS much since I got MTC and I'm thinking I'll be selling some of my carts because I simply don't use them! This forum is the tops and I haven't seen this for any other software I own! MTC ROCKS!

tcaudell

I just wanted to say how much I LOVE MTC!!! I had considered SCAL for a long long time and just couldn't bring myself to buy it because its format was so much like the Wishblade that I had and hated that I couldn't bring myself to go through that again! When I heard about MTC I downloaded the trial version to see if I liked it. I couldn't be believe how easy it was to use! I absolutely LOVE it and can't stop raving about it to all my friends. I recently talked my sister into getting MTC as well. She called me a few nights ago and said, "This MTC program ROCKS!" I agreed!

Tammy

waterrabbit

I also cannot believe I haven't put anything here yet! Although, my next zine article probably reads like a love letter to MTC!

What can I say about MTC that hasn't been said already? I love that I am able to actually cut what I've been picturing in my head all this time. My style isn't always "mainstream" and I know that even if Provo Craft comes out with 1000 cartridges, none will ever have exactly what I want. With MTC, that isn't an issue. If I can think of it, I can cut it. (Sometimes, I need a little help with the visualization, but that's where this tremendous forum comes in! A friendlier bunch you will never meet.)

I've had my Expression since January of 2009 and waited patiently for the warranty to expire. I was starting to seriously look at purchasing SCAL and I was doing a lot of playing with Inkscape. Then Andy popped up on the Cricut MB and I looked at MTC. I downloaded the trial version of both MTC and SCAL2 and was totally, well, unimpressed. Neither at that time (Late December 2009) was going to replace the need for Inkscape for me. But I came to the forum here and saw how Andy was actually listening to what we wanted. That he was as excited about the possibilities as we were. So I took the plunge and purchased MTC. I've never been sorry for that decision!

MTC Rocks. And Andy is our rock star!

I received my Expression for Christmas. I downloaded the trial copies of MTC, CDS and SCAL. I really loved the ease of use of MTC and was impressed by the free upgrades and the fact that Andy seemed to really be listening to what people were suggesting and making improvements in the software. Within about a week I purchased MTC. I am so happy that I did. I am doing things with my Expression that I never dreamed possible. There have been several upgrades in the software and I am amazed at what can be done with it. The forum is wonderful and so very helpful if you are trying to figure anything out, there are always people willing to help out. There are tutorials that help walk you through the various elements of the software and lots of free cut files available. Already I have been making cards that are as nice as any I could buy. I could never have done this without MTC. I am new at all this and constantly finding additional things the software can do. I am amazed at what Andy has done with this software and look forward to growing in my abilities to fully use all the functions. Thank you Andy for a wonderful product that is well worth the money.

HeidiK

My DH bought MTC for me about a month ago after I had looked at it and looked at it and looked at it some more.......and I am absolutely AMAZED at what it can do. It is VERY intuitive and user friendly. I just sit at my laptop and play for hours!! I have yet to actually cut anything because I am having a ball just playing with this program. It is a dream come true! Thank you for such a wonderful product!!

Bonnie

I found out about MTC last night, and did some homework (about 7 hours' worth). Not only did I find that the creator, Andy, is amazingly on top of his software, but so are his vendors! I received personal attention from one vendor who is temporarily stationed in Korea (ScrappyDew), who answered my e-mailed question less than 2 minutes after I asked it (he even Skyped me & we had a nice chat). This is not your run-of-the-mill impersonal, customer-hating software organization (like one I know in northern Washington), but a real, down-to-earth programmer (with groupies) who cares about his product, is proud of his good reputation, and is entirely committed to his customers. It's no wonder that they're all fiercely loyal, since his attitude is reciprocal. His attention to detail and compassion are unique in this normally frigid industry, and this behavior is more reminiscent of the good morals and tight ethics of fifty and sixty years ago.

That said, I would buy anything which came from his keyboard.

this is my second post. I have used this for a few months now. I still love it. I haven't used my cartridges since I purchased mtc. there is no need for me. the upgrades are tremendous. OMG, how easy is this. I am limited only by my creativeness. that is why the forums help so much. I would purchase this with out the discounts in fact I did, and I am glad that I have it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Thanks Andy for the great program.
