Starkeeper, yes most of my hardware is getting to be years old. My Music Computer is approaching 2 years with no changes planned.

On the other hand, I am currently awaiting updates for Project5 and Kontakt. The Project5 update will provide a number of soft synths which should be interesting. Kontakt will significant improvements in effects and GM compatibility. If this is true I will then move away from LiveSynth Pro to Kontakt (One instance for lead voices and one instance for accompaniment).

Live - Styler and forte are in for some bug fixes but generally work well.

These are exciting times. It provides those in the music business with more alternatives.
