For many years, I resisted buying a smartphone. The data plans were like highway robbery (we are larger than the average nuclear family), and I felt I already had enough tech to keep me happy and busy between studio and day-job.
During those years I suffered when the 32-bit ST2 would crash SONAR, all the while IKM rubbed salt in the wound piling iOS products higher and deeper. But crash after crash I trudged on, from one SONAR version-up to the next, because the sounds I got (and how quickly) with ST2 kept bringing me back. That, and my beloved combi's that I had been collecting all those years, in between crashes, that is. (The reader will kindly note that running SONAR in 32-bit mode is not considered here, nor will it be, nor has it, for many, many years.)
This month, I picked up a smartphone (had to - my wife's dumb phone croaked and we always get the same style phones to scale the learning curve together). And tonight, I ordered ST3. Coincidence? Providence? We shall see.
