Maybe the reason why no one else asked the same question as me is because everyone understands the real answer, atleast subconciously. However, I'm also more impatient than anyone else, due to my own personal life and plans. There will come a time (quite soon) that I will not upgrade anything anymore, even if there are big improvements in the future. I wasn't even thinking I would wait for Shredder 8. Waiting for new programs is very addictive, and compromises my life. S.Taylor Sometimes, improvements are made (in computer things) which take a long time to overtake, like when it comes to the top of a hill, and it takes a long time for others to catch up, or even for the programmer himself to do better. It has sometimes been like that for 2-3 years, like with Genius 3. It's that momment which I'd like to catch! S.T.
