Isn't that because of the networking requirements in a radio/TV

I thought it was because the broadcast pros standardized on Cool Edit
for Windows way back and never saw a good reason to upgrade because it
was cheap and reliable and did everything they need. Kind of like how
the legal profession uses WordPerfect rather than Word - they just never
saw a good reason to switch.

The legal profession has a specific reason for using WordPerfect. It
is to do with the way it stores and displays corrections/alterations to
a document.

dominate.
