It'll be because something went incredibly wrong w/ my OS upgrade. My first since, uh... Since my Windows 2000 to XP upgrade, over 10 years ago.
 
I already know that I'm losing Rapture and Dimension Pro in the process because they don't support recent OS, and probably never will. I'm also temporarily losing Sampletank and its siblings - no 32 Bit support in Logic X. 
 
Since my wife suffered an injury at work earlier last week and is off since, this seems like the proper time to do maintenance work and things like that...
 
Anyway, download is over, install window just popped up. 
This is exciting...
 
See you guys later. :P

Good luck with the upgrade.  Sorry to hear about your wife's injury.  I hope it heals completely and quickly.  

Alas, poor Rain.  I knew him Jan.

Took forever - much longer than I expected - but I'm back. And I had plenty of time to clean up the studio and reorganize it. Little things which make a difference I guess - like having my main guitar closer and on my right side. Also pushed the bigger amps in the back of the room, brought my little Marshall closer (because that's the one I spend the most time playing, brought my compressors closer too, so they're easier to access when I track bass, and such... Dosn't show on the picture, but the room just feels much wider and less cluttered.

Thanks, Jan.

Rain, I little piece of advice...
 
When your wife is at home sick and you're looking after her it's NOT called maintenance work...  (even if a bit of touching up is involved)

LOL Thanks Karyn.
 
Actually, she isn't doing bad, besides the headaches. She hit her head pretty hard while climbing back up on the grid earlier last week, and they've been following up, having her go through all kinds of tests - MRI and all - just to make sure. Cirque take even the smallest injury very, very seriously.

Looks nice in there!  I remember your first pics of the place.
 
Hope your wife feels better soon - the show must go on, ya?

Good news: Dimension Pro and Rapture are still working - in Logic 9, that is. Seems that installing them on a machine running Mountain Lion wouldn't work, but they do survive the upgrade to an unsupported OS.
 
Since Logic 9 and X can co-exist, I guess I don't have to give up on those synths just yet - worst case I can always access the via Logic 9. 

And here I was thinking you thought it was good time to upgrade because your wife got a huge disability check for an on the job injury.
