Couldn't of said it better;0) I feel the same way and need to also write them...like you say we're small potatoes, but we have a right to be heard, whether they listen or not is a big question...I bought the Imagine, so won't be getting rid of anything anytime soon, but WILL NOT be replacing my E either, if it unfortunately breaks...I would of never bought SCAL if it wasn't for my Expression, but now feel the opposite;0)and will be looking for a different machine to work with my SCAL one day;0)...PC's loss and I think in the end they're going to realize they made a BIG mistake!!S Gluphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836882791604622239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667838392450959281.post-41224849142758971802011-04-02T17:34:46.262-04:002011-04-02T17:34:46.262-04:00Agree 100% Provocraft may be marketing geniuses, ...Agree 100% Provocraft may be marketing geniuses, but they revealed their economic ignorance. I own 2 Cricuts, CDS, SCAL2 and MTC. The last cartridge I bought was only a couple months ago, despite having a multitude of other options. But alas, I have spent my last dollar on ANYTHING Provocraft. I'm currently shopping for my next die cutting machine. I'll use the Cricut with the carts until it dies (excuse the pun), but I won't be helping their "bottom line" anymore, since that is apparently ALL they care about.

They just don't understand what type of sharing, small and helpful community the crafting community is. Bank of America just thinks like Big Business Wall Street and all they care about is the bottom line. I have no knowledge, but I've seen it happen when companies have been bought before and the people who work there get caught in the middle by the "new way of thinking and doing business." I agree with you, Cely. SCAL was part of the deal that made the difference in my buying the Cricut over the competition. I have tons of carts, as well as DS and the gypsy and the Imagine and I'm not big on spending money. I look for excellent deals and save hard for these purchases. We are a one paycheck family. My husband sold some of his old stereo equipment to be able to buy the Imagine. I think they will learn that this was a bad business move. Time will tell.

Still in the learning process and still trying to use my MTC & SCAL but so far love my new baby. It is way smaller and not heavy at all. I too will use the 2 cricuts I own till they die and than donate my carts. Such a sad sad move by PC.LUV2SCRAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747877618267697346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667838392450959281.post-59026796533862783062011-03-31T22:45:45.726-04:002011-03-31T22:45:45.726-04:00I so agree and wrote about the same on my own blog...I so agree and wrote about the same on my own blog.

You...Thanks for the link to Andy's site, Cely! <br />You've made some well-stated points on PC, too! So nice to be able to have a voice, but when that voice falls on deaf ears it is very fristrating! While you say you are "small potatoes", keep in mind that many "small potatoes" sure do add up to a heaping mountain! :0)Cheryl Firsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680608557207521394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667838392450959281.post-82744480728644439242011-03-31T18:47:05.029-04:002011-03-31T18:47:05.029-04:00Well said Cely!

I am right there with you, I feel so disappointed because I DO LOVEEEE my cricut, I feel I have been loyal to their brand, but I feel SCAL is no different that the examples you mention, I hope that PC comes down from their high throne and come back to the little people that love their product and just want to have a good time crafting.Cricut Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16615918573741786085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667838392450959281.post-58112324640866374282011-03-31T14:10:27.045-04:002011-03-31T14:10:27.045-04:00I agree and posted about the boycott on my blog to...I agree and posted about the boycott on my blog too.

I do understand that MTC was actually providing the ability to "copy" the PC carts - not appropriate - but SCAL doesn't have anything to do with the PC carts and I keep buying carts SO leave my SCAL alone!!! I may have to switch over to another die cutting machine over this!<br />Thanks for listening!<br /><br />jackieKraftychickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176293832447883877noreply@blogger.com
