Whew, it took a while but I did it...

I got my Gypsy, Design Studio, and Cricut all updated. The update that didn't work and was pulled has now been updated and seems to work. We can share CDS and Gypsy files between the 2 systems and can now share Gypsy files. Woohoo. Some other improvements are great too - like multiple mats for one design, welding flipped images, and all my cartridges are now green in the cartridge list. Sweet.
