Keep Finale 2K4 around for projects that require it and go back to 
2003 for all real work.

I develop database applications in 4 different versions of MS Access, 
though a version that was released in 1996 is my preferred version, 
and most of my work is in that (and then forward converted to the 
later versions for deployment). My work is all one-way, though, from 
me to the client site, so the forward conversion works well there.

I don't understand why someone who is going to be collaborating with 
other people would just blindly upgrade to the latest and greatest 
every time it comes out. Perhaps it's testimony to the fact that Coda 
has actually been pretty good about not burning people with buggy 
releases.

But I've always been conservative about software upgrades because 
I've seen too many of them be bad. I never want to be on the bleeding 
edge.
