Hi, it´s very funny that everybody talks as if every copy of LAW would deny service at midnight september 30!!! Ok, dropping WIN support is a major thing, but - anyone with a working system can continue working, being creative and earning money as long as there is electricity avaiable. See: I use a non-usb-Mac, so I can´t upgrade to LA 5. What´s the problem? LA 4 is working, and it won´t stop to do so just because there´s a version 5. There is only a minority who *needs* to upgrade for some reason, just because LA 4 is a full-fledged, grown-up system. I know many pro´s don´t let them be fooled with that continuous upgrade hassle - a working system is a working system, and often new features are simply unneccesary for that work. Or does anyone´s existance depend on new features? Then he´s in the wrong business. So cool down and enjoy working with your existing system - and in some time it will be much clearer what to invest in, when you really have to. (Don´t get me wrong - of course I see the potential problems appearing, and many statements during the last hours were right.) Yours, Tobias
