Has anyone seen this?   Used it? 

What do you think?

It is fun but in order to use and cut a cartridge you have to have the cartridge.  Like I have george, mini-monograms and jasmine,I could not go to the winter one and download anything from that cart.  It is just for tweaking and welding the cart you already have.

I have both Cricuts; The original and the Expressions. 

I have 12 cartridges. 

But I'm concerned about downloading stuff to my computer since I'm such a computer dummy 

The possibilities are really endless with the Design studio.  You can weld images from a variety of cartridges into one cut.  I have seen some beautiful frames, photo mats, and borders.  Someone has posted some borders that look so much like the Queen & Co. felt borders.  You can design with all the cartridges, you do have to own the cartridges that you want to cut from.  The software will prompt you when to insert each cartridge.  You should see some of the designs that people are sharing with each other.  You can save designs to work on them later or email them to a friend.  So far, I have really enjoyed using it.

I also asked a question about cricut that I saw on TV the web address is www.4cricut.com and has a demo and quite a lot of information about it.  The phone number is 1800-960-3184.  I have not purchase it yet and was also asking questions about it before I ordered it. The web site has good info.  If you scroll up on this message board and read 12/30/07 Cricut question by blkravencat you will see my 11 responses to my  question about cricut.  Hope this helps.

The "deal" on the Cricut infomerical is not a good buy.  I think it ends up as 5 payments of $49.95.  There are plenty of better purchase prices out there.  Good luck.  I think you will love your Cricut.
