<div class="Ih2E3d">A sound engineer I sometimes work with is still using the 0.99<br></div>
system I originally set up for him. His reason is that it does<br>
the work he requires of it and it is stable. Many audio engineers<br>
have a similar attitude towards software, ie. if it ain't broke why<br>
fix it? If your income depends on *stable* software, it would be<br>
foolish to keep upgrading unless you are totally confident that<br>
you can deal with the potential problems.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Believe me, I am well aware of that attitude in software, and often have it myself. But .9x had its share of problems that to my knowledge will not be fixed. Even when running and designing shows using certain configurations, I may start testing other stuff to replace it outside of the show to use on my next design. Likewise while I won't change versions in the middle of a project without good reason, I will upgrade ofr better functionality and stability between projects. Just because something works doesn't mean it can't work better. Not a matter of fixing it there, it is a matter of realising that improvements can and will be made.<br>
