Hey Nicole! I wanted to thank you for your Arccivo review! I am on the Arccivo development team and wanted to fill you in on some more Arccivo details.

First, the Arccivo is being developed as part of a new PBS show called Everyday Edisons (http://www.everydayedisons.com) which will begin airing nationwide this coming May. In a nutshell, the show takes the inventions of 14 ordinary people with extraordinary ideas and helps them bring their products to market, documenting the product design process along the way. Everybody has thought of a life-changing invention, but few know what to do with their idea. The goal of the show is to educate and inspire our viewers on what comes next. The inventors of the Arccivo are Pam, Mary and Deborah - great scrapbooking friends.

On the outdated Web site... We built the Web site in December of 2005 when our first prototypes were complete. An updated version will be going live later this week. We took the prototypes to the 2006 Craft & Hobby Association show in Vegas last January and got so much great feedback that we started over.

The first Arccivo was really great. The second generation Arccivo is awesome! It took a lot more focus group and performance testing - we even developed some new patented technology along the way. Arccivo is now in production and will begin shipping in late January. We are taking pre-orders on the Web site and will ship based on the order in which they were placed (shameless plug: put in your order now to ensure you are part of the first shipment!). FYI, the photos and demo on the site reflect the final, production Arccivo.

We are so excited about the product and believe it is going to revolutionize the scrapbooking community. As a matter of fact, when we brought in a scrapbooking expert to review the product on the show (Donna Downey), she fell in love with it and is now raving about it on her blog! She says it has completely changed the way she scrapbooks forever. If you would like to find out more about how Donna is using it, check out: http://donnadowney.typepad.com/simply_me/2007/01/everyday_edison.html.

Thanks again for the great review! Let me know if you have any other questions about the Arccivo! Watch for the updated Web site later this week.

Cheers! Matt from Arccivo
