Seriously guys, get a grip and decide for youself.

BTW it works great for me but don't blame me if it crashes your system and blows the tires on your vehicle.

<sigh>

So, you're saying it's cool to go ahead and update?

Frodo,

I agree with everything you said. The idea I was trying to get across was that people shouln't make decisions based only on comments of others. At some point one must make an 'informed' decision. There has been plenty written about this update and how it works with DP. As we well know, that doesn't mean it will work with Finale or any other prg. Asking for a consensus (which was essentially what I was reading and responding to) is like asking who to vote for. One (hopefully) sifts thru the data and decides - or simply decides not to vote. That was essentially what I was trying to say...

pps- NEVER update in the middle of a project.

I think some of us take turns marching up to the front line and then reporting back if we're still alive :) I know I've often cloned my the boot drive on my PowerMac G5 and went ahead and did the upgrade, knowing that I can easily swap drives if something goes terrible wrong. Since I'm primarily use a MacBook Pro now a days, it's not so easy to just swap drives...

You're such a polite man of Gondor! :P

I totally got you, though-- I've been exploring a VSL issue with 10.5.7 someone else reported which now has me a little concerned. When my project is done I'll get back to "guinea pig" mode to suss it out, if possible.

Well, I'm one of the brave souls who's thrown himself on this particular hand grenade, going where others fear to tread-- AKA I'm an idiot/optimist.

So far, so, ummm-- well, here's my problem. Pretty much everyday, I switch on my Mac (2x 3.2 Quad-core Intel Xeon, 8 GB of RAM), and notice that my MOTU 24-i (one of the old ones) can't decide if it's running at 44.1 or 48 kHz-- ie that my 'puter has no idea that it has a PCI-e card installed. The first time this happened, naturally, there were great lamentations which were probably heard all over London. I've gotten it down to a routine now, however-- trash the MOTU PCI Audio extension from System->Library->Extensions, re-install the driver, restart-- I'm back in business.

Fine, so far as it goes. However, the sense of satisfaction in having "solved" the problem is beginning to recede, leaving me with the question, "Do I really have to do this every day?" Surely not. Anybody got any ideas?

BTW-- thanks for all the fantastic material and support on this site. You guys are an inspiration.

It's called Tourette's Finger. Some people get it while driving; he gets it while typing. :)
