So do you know some one who owns cutters with dies?

I have one and all the strip dies plus several others. I hardly use it and am going to sell it. It works fine but it seems a bother to set it up, load it up, and cut when I already have my cutting mat up and can do a few cuts quickly. I might feel different if I had room for it to be up all the time.
I know people will talk about sales etc but the cost of the dies adds up. I have over $700 invested in this seldom used gadget.

My BFF has a Studio cutter. I have purchased a couple of dies that "live" at her house. The studio cuts 10 layers at a time. One of my dies is "Take 5". I can cut 10 blocks at a time. The tumbler die lets me cut 80 at one pass. I cut or fold my fabric into strips before I run it through the machine, and have minimal waste. Really speeds up my piecing for charity quilts. I have been cutting some of my odds and ends into strips or nickel squares. Her church sewing group loves to make jelly roll quilts.

Do you know the name of this computerized cutter?
I have a BFF that is getting a computerized cutter for her Christmas present. Supposedly it is hooked up to the computer and any shape on the computer can be cut on the cutter. I'll see that first! She is so excited she can't stand herself either! But when the dealer (a guild member) calls to say she is delivering it my BFF is going to call me so we can both see how it works. I must admit I am getting a little excited to see it also.
