Hey Chuck good points you made..I guess if your happy with what you have then stick with it....however eventually everything becomes obsolete.
There is a whole list of products that at one time we were all happy with. Looking back at these relics( 8 track tapes, 386 Intel computers, the KN550, etc. etc.)compared to today innovation, it's probably better to have the latest.
The hardest part is making the decesion to "Upgrade". Sometimes you become so accostomed with a product that it's tough to give up on it. I know when I purchaced a new computer and went from Win98 to XP, I was dissapointed at first, however after now having it for over a year, and then just recently helping my brother with crashes on his WIN98 computer, I know what a far superior product the newer version is.
Sooner or later we all upgrade, it's just a matter of when your ready.
In accordance...
