The Logic Off Topic list

Hey Gene,

Since this becomes more and more OT, let's move it to Logic OT list if 
you don't mind.

I've used it since 3.5. Just out of curiosity, what did 1.0 look like? 
And to turn back the time even more than that, how was Notator? Anybody 
cares to put some screenshots to the files section here?

This kinda proves the point I keep telling my mates/clients: always 
upgrade, even if you can't use the new version now, you will thank 
yourself you've done it one day :-) . See, had you upgraded to 5 back 
then it wouldn't be that painful to jump right to Pro from where you 
are now. The only time this didn't work was 5 to 6 upgrade: it cost 200 
bucks and now one has to pay another 200 no matter whether he upgrades 
from 5 or 6.0. Just my opinion though.

Best,

Andy
