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. -- David W.
