I know but I think it should not have happened that way.
If you close that office you should take care of thousands of version 6 
users.
It was really frustrating...

In these talks with Apple on the phone,
The tech said a few things that really worried me.
First he said that the support for 6 was supposed to given by Emagic.
It was their deal with Emagic and they were not equipped to handle my 
question.
I told them it was their product since they bought it prior to version 
6.
To be fair, they did take care of it in less than an hour
but never accepted that they were responsible to
get Emagic to give me support since they owned them.

Second thing the tech told me on the phone was...
"I actually meant to say there is no more support for 6."
This worries me a lot.
So, if I need to swap my XS-Key for some reason am I really out in the 
dark?
Some people had similar problems to mine and
XS-Key had to be swapped.

I do not want to spend money on a G5 machine.
I have a Ti-Book 1Ghz and a Mac Mini 1.42ghz (Both G4s).
They both work great with Logic Pro 6.4.3.
I could not care less if Apple wants to force me into buying their 
newer machines.
I am not buying Logic 7 for at least a few years.

I paid 3K for my TiBook and close $900.- for MacMini including 1Gb of 
Ram.
When TiBook 1Ghz came out 2.5 years ago it was supposed to be the 
greatest laptop.
Apple ads said so.
Now they do not even want to hear about it, let alone optimizing their 
software for it.
This is bad business.
It sure made me consider lots of things...

Just needed to vent after being played like a tennis ball between 
Emagic and Apple.
Both saying to talk to the other party.
