Well, if it is any consolation, the content of V25 is not going to draw a lot of people to crossgrade. It isn't as if a person wavering about the switch would say "Wow, a didgeridoo? I guess I had better make the switch." On 8/16/2016 6:55 PM, David H. Bailey wrote: > What really hurts

Though Weird Al’s what, almost 40 year career means nothing? I think it’s fine if he is used in their marketing. It would be better if someone from say Hans Zimmerman’s or John Williams scoring/music production team was the quote…..but I don’t think Weird Al is the level of T-Shirt and Water
