The dilemma
this is not just about money:
1 get 3 now before October 1
+ mature product version
+ knowing that I prolly will get 4 in february, when it is at its most happy
- may have to get a 4 upgrade way soon cuz it is just awesomely stably wonderful
+ would have all the 3 goodies
2 wait for the 2 4 1 sale: "upgrade now to get 3 and 4"
- may not get such an offer and lose getting 3's goodies
+ if does, great bargain
(even though I will expect to use 3 because of the available know-how)
3 do not get 3, get 4 soon
- knowing I will likely have to wait until February to be able to use it without major issues
+ learn with the crowd (shared happy discovery, and sad work-around strategies)
I got 4 days to decide which option will affect my sense of self most positively.
I should make this a pol??
============
Why have I not upgraded to 3 already?
I still hate the interface for all the reasons us dissenters have forlorned.
But I have recently had to moved to X2 from 8.5. Initially caused by an interface driver not playing well with others.
Consequently, reluctantly, with mourning and trepidation:
I have been reading posts (many by THE CRAIG) and watching tutorials about how great 3e is.
I am way sad to lose the happiness of 8.5.3. The lack of clutter. The clarity,....
But a new (older) sense of time (short and long term) results in an undeniably unavoidable, and high intelligently approach to the conclusion that I have to limit myself to only a single Sonar interface. Regardless of my personal reluctances.
(And I really dislike the waste of time experienced using MS office 2013. Probably will lose a full week this year waiting for all the eye candy, and the eye-time required to read the white-on-white interface. But don't get me started on that now.)
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! I feel much better now! [[This episode of "THERAPY" has been brought to you by the, best yet, application of the phenomenon known as "electricity."]]
