If this had been a download it would have been disaster.
I have to agree with this statement. When Ketron came out with 4.0 for SD1 owners, the whole think was done with floppy disk. Imagine that in todays world ?
The USB pen drive was the perfect solution.
If it was a download via computer, anything could have interrupted the download. Then it would have been a huge problem.
