Just getting around to reading this and all the wonderful comments in response to Jim and Diane. 
Reading the daily comments, sage advice from Jim and Diane, and from all the members is ever so helpful.  Thank you to everyone for making the list valuable to all of us.  And a gigantic healthy Happy New Year 2023 hug to everyone who needs it.

Well we've managed to make it through another year. While not as devastating as the two preceding it, 2022 has not been a picnic in the park. Prices of everything have been soaring, particularly at the grocery store. Even the weather has gotten strange. In one week we might make our 5k morning walk in T-shirts and shorts or in arctic-grade parkas. It seems like our best option is to just take on one day at a time.

This list is now just over 11 years old, but its legacy goes all the way back to the early 90s as the list started by Charles and Peggy Wade. The Memory Craft 9000 was the new kid on the block then, and we all were eager to learn all we could do with it. Much has changed since then, but this community has remained a refuge for the kinds of people we would all love to have as neighbors. The caring and sharing nature of the members is a welcome break from the harsh realities we have to deal with. We thank all of you for being who you are, and for supporting us for so many years. We wish you happiness, health, peace, and joy in the coming year.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you and Diane and everyone else on the list (posters and quiet readers) a Happy New Year!  I too wish things would even out a bit.  But in the meantime, we have our sewing and embroidery to keep us saner.

Sending New Year Wishes to all the group.  I have followed you all for as many years as the groups have been going.  My best wishes to Jim and Dianne for 2023!

I live in Alberta, Canada and bought my machines at Red Deer Sewing Center from Rolly and Karen.  They have now sold the store to new owners.
I would like to use this medium to wish my best to them and all the ladies that came to our monthly Janome club meetings.  I know that many of you follow Jim and Diane so wish you all the best in 2023.  I had a brain bleed in early October, am still at home and able to look after myself but can’t drive.  My best to all my sewing friends!

Jim and Diane,  We go along way back to the late 90's, the 9000, and Peggy and Charles Wade.  I wonder if they are still with us.🤔 You have been a blessing to all of us through the years and these last couple of years have been challenging for all.  I am so grateful and thankful for all that you do for us....I wish you both health, happiness and peace in the New Year.....Sara  🙂

Happy New Year to you & Diane .  And thank you for all the years you have been so faithful to answer all our questions (some were stupid but you took the time to answer them anyway) So thanks again for all your efforts they were much appreciated.  Have a great year & be well Shirley from NJ

Jim I have the Digitizer Jr that has a dongle.  I have had it for awhile but when I went to use it the other day it would not work a notice came up  ie:  unable to access  HASP SRA RUN-time environment (HOO33) this makes no sense to me so how do I get my Ditgitizer back working?  Thanks Shirley

So appreciate all your help and insight. All the best to you both in the New Year.

Happy new year. Yes I too have been following for a long time. I don’t remember what year I first met Jim at Janome Institute in Las Vegas. I took classes from Jim and Diane at retreats in Raleigh, NC. And Salisbury, Md. i remember when Jim was our best source for tech info because the Janome educators didn’t think we older ladies would want to learn.  With Jim’s help I was able to learn and even teach customers how to use their computers so the could really use the software and enjoy their experience. I think that the challenges offered by it all have allowed me to keep my brain functioning and now that I’m in my 90’s I appreciate that I can still enjoy learning new things.

it is sometimes hard to realize that the Janome 8000 was introduced in 1990 and how much the machines have come in just 32 years. I also recognize sone of the names of people who have been on this amazing journey with us. Although I would love to get the the newest machine, I will continue to learn and enjoy my MC 15000 and Digitizer.
Thanks Jim for all your help over the years and I am looking forward to many more years

I want to thank everyone and especially Jim and Diane for making this my most read list. 

I have not done much sewing over the last 5 years - 4 years in a house that had a huge 2 acre garden (no fields and no possibility of getting tractors or hedge cutting machines in, so we had to do everything by hand and a small ride on mower).  Way too much work, and no time for hobbies.  The last year we spent several months getting the place ready for sale - it sold in 24 hrs - and then 6 months in a caravan while we waited for the owners of the house we have bought to have their new build house completed.  It still wasn't completed when we moved in but they eventually moved in with their son as we pushed to get in before Nov.

Since they we have been unpacking and replacing all the various appliances that either didn't work, or were on their way out - and now for the last 3 days I've had time to sort my sewing studio out and have a space for sewing.  The 15000 is still in it's box but at least I now have a table I can put it on.  I have forgotten so much about it and embroidery over this last 5 years, but I know this website will be invaluable to help me regain all the skills I have lost.

I'm really looking forward to 2023, reading much more of the posts, and just sitting sewing.  Many thanks to everyone for providing all the info that becomes invaluable!

Happy New Year!
