Now that I have a system running the way I want, I can leave this system as is for the next 10 years if I wish and there won't be any broken programs due to buggy updates. Oh what joy, again!<BR>Stephen</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px">I'm a very low-end user. I rarely use more than 30% of the available features in the audio software. So staying up with the latest and greatest versions is not a concern of mine. Hence maybe in 10 years I'll finally find a reason to upgrade. And then again, maybe not. The capabilities of current Linux audio software is very impressive. Thanks to the Community.</DIV>
