patience is a virtue ?

I would have replied earlier but felt I should consider my comments carefully rather than just add some trite remark.

Anyway, I'm not patient, I hate queues (lines), I hate being told I have to wait, and I'd rather not have something if the world and its wife are champing at the bit to acquire it.

There, I'm relaxed now.

AT haven't you heard the new band called "F-ex" no wonder they credit cakewalk v700 in their album notes

I just bought ozone 4.. was curious to see if i couldn't get the boxed one.. but the download was £58 or something.. fair enough then they added another £8 in taxes.. I wish they'd calculate the full total . I'm forever checking how much has been taken out with the bank.

ah well Dave if you will drive on the wrong side of the road mate . We got stuck in Wales 3 days when I was a kid once, the ferry ramp ripped off the exhaust box.. years later I went over a speed bump and the same happened to me, the woman in the house next door wasn't happy.. it was rather noisey..lol

I no longer NEED that which I don't already have, so nothing really bothers me at this point where gear is concerned. I have more than I actually NEED, and I suspect most of us fall into that category, actually.

I suppose its the side-effect of years of gear addiction... coupled with the realization of how spoiled I'd become where studio stuff was concerned.

I definitely want one of these:

And I'll pick one up the very first time I remember to think about it once they're released, but I'm not losing sleep over it.

The last time I really got impatient waiting for some new piece of tech was with 64bit, about 18 months ago. I'll never do that again... it just made me... angry.

How's 64bit on Windows these days, anyway? I stopped paying attention.

Lucky you all...
If you have no money to buy anything new, you do not have to worry about waiting.

I'm in the same boat some of the year, I mean a lot of the things I'll either buy if they are on an xmas / easter sale etc. I'll buy more than 1 thing to get some leverage for a discount.. So not really a case of G.A.S. Although I was intending to buy 3 things, well 1 thing I waited over a year for.. and the other 2, well are software updates

bit like last year, I wanted to get kontakt.. on it's own rather expensive.. BUT the other NI stuff I wanted down the road, well as a bundle in Komplete a fair bit cheaper. I do justify what I'm spending on though. Currently I won't update another brand DAW I use out of principle as they are charging the same to users 2 versions back, even though I could pay for it.

you get in a bit of a loop.. the software is ok... but the hardware isn't fast enough.. or the software has new functions / features that you can make use of.

it's a bit like Ed mentioned with the i7's... I'll hold out till their cheaper (long wait I guess.hehe) as tempting as a quad core sounds, that announcement made me want to wait now

I find myself more impatient sometimes since I had a "burnout" about two years back and that is not the way I am.
Not a nice feeling anyway.
