Don't use anything earlier than the latest, greatest. Every version of
Finale has had something, however small, that makes me more productive.
Have I been bitten by a bug in Finale? Not yet.......knock on wood.

OK- here's a thought-
I am sure there are quite a few people like me out there in Finale-land
still happily using WinFin 2001 or earlier. I seem to recall someone asking
a question on Fin 97!
I had one person suggest I should not waste valuable list time by asking
questions about 'out-of-date' technology.
I also use 'Simple entry' almost exclusively.
My reason is the same reason I drive a 1976 Mazda Convertible! I know it
well, and it is more than adequate for my requirements!
Fin 2001 does everything I require, doesn't seem to have too many bugs -
those that are there I now know how to cludge!
It certainly doesn't have all the bells and whistles (and bugs!) of 2007
etc, but for my purpose it's more than enough.
I tried 2004- got all totally confused with the dangly bits hanging off my
cursor- and happily reverted to 2001 after a couple of weeks.
I can see the problem with lack of compatibility with users of later
versions, but I can live with that!
OK- I'm not as fast as most others- but what I do looks very slick, and is
very happily accepted by all users.
As I start my 70th year (today) I suspect I will never again be in a 'time
pressure to finish' situation- so I'll plod happily on.
There you go- I'll crawl back under my rock.
Be interested to hear what is the *earliest* version still in regular use!
