Hi Al, Sure. That is perfectly reasonable. I can certainly understand that point of view.
I myself tend to be something of a mavric. That is to say I'll try anything once to see if I like it or not. I love to tinker, experiment, and don't let the grass grow under my feet when it comes to software. That is why I've got several computers here running a huge a variety of software. Some free and some commercial. I've got a desktop PC from about 2005 or so running Windows XP SP3, NVDA 2012, several audio games, as well as many older apps that won't run as well on Windows 7. I have a fairly new Toshiba notebook computer running Windows 7 64-bit with a bunch of the latest software on one partition. The other partition is running Ubuntu Linux 12.04, the Orca screen reader, as well as a huge list of Linux apps. Then, I have a four year old Compaq computer that came with Vista, later updated to Windows 7, that has a mixture of new and old apps on it. It also has a Linux partition which was recently upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 as well. Bottom line, I'm not someone who sticks to any specific comfort zone. I have apps I like and don't like, but I tend to experiment, try new things, and don't stick to one thing all the time. So that's where I'm coming from in a lot of cases. Cheers!
