Nice intro Oakwood, and Welcome from Nova Scotia.
I'm running a Graphtec FC7000mk2 75 and I love it. The tracking on it seems to be a knack. Thankfully I seem to be getting the knack. Its a great Machine. I originaly ordered the FC8000, but the company called me back and offered me a great deal on the FC7000 - too good not to grab it. So far I am very happy with it.
