Always weighting the words, hey!<br>
I don't think it's a "complete stupid choice", as well as A4 is not
either. And if you don't need MIDI, I also think you might not want
to change, as all the bug fixed weren't criticals, </div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>many, many of the bugs were ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. the fact that you may not run into them with the workflow you use doesn't change this.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><br>

then finally telling them to wait a bit cause there were several
severe bugs to be fixed - which is no problem to me, that's the way
it has to be, and I suppose there was no way to allow A2 to open A3
sessions (to be able to get back). </div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>what program has ever offered forward compatibility?<br></div><div> </div></div><br></div></div>
