  I save after every move I make!
I am nervous that 7.1 will make it worse instead of better!

> Typical Crash Circumstances
Every time I close a song.
Other crashes are so numerous and under so many different circumstances 
I can't remember what takes place
I know sometimes it happens when opening a plug in both Logic and third 
party.
I don't even bother trying to use my Stylus 
RMX,Atmosphere,Trilogy,Plugsound,waves,Powercore,or UAD plug ins.

   I like the part where I can submit some foul language to Apple 
though. I sure it goes straight to their trash can.

  I have used Logic since ATARI 1040ST starting in the late 80s and this 
is absolutely the most unstable version to date, in fact you could add 
all the other issues I had with previous versions and that still would 
not match the problems I have with L7. I have earned a living for the 
last 15 years using Logic and I don't consider myself a power user , 
but I move fast enough to keep clients coming back , but this has 
changed as of November 04.
I'm trying to keep the faith!
