        I think Peter's point is that you can at least maintain your
current level of productivity without doing anything but that, if you take
the time to learn the new features, your productivity might go up...not
necessarily, since the new features may not help with what your doing, but
maybe. (Peter, I'm putting words in your mouth, so correct me if I'm
wrong.)
