Re: [Avid-L2] Re: MC6 upgrade budget plan

Understood. And not complaining as that is the nature of OS changes. I am usually a late adapter of a Mac OS change anyway. I think my point was, all this back and forth on the cost of the upgrade when its a much bigger financial move that just MC6. At least for me. Eventually mac users have to move forward and its always painful in the pocketbook. Avid is my most important app obviously and would love to take advantages of some of the new additions. So its a tough choice.
