| Well, PC/Windows is not totally free from these issues - it's just a fact of life of computer architectural changes happening faster than lifecycles and almost every tech company simply not devoting resources to support older hardware. On the Windows side, when I moved to 64-bit Windows (this includes XP, Vista and Windows 7 versions) I ended up with a scanner and DV deck that simply did not work anymore. I kept an old machine around but neither Epson, Panasonic, Microsoft or any 3rd party ever released drivers for 64-bit, so I donated them and moved on. I don't see any real chance of this changing. I just discovered also recently that MS Office 2010 won't open at all old MS Office versions - we definitely are heading towards a future with massive amounts of data, software and hardware that simply won't function. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.sv2studios.com/ http://www.outsideinthemovie.com/ http://www.stephenv2.me/ A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. -Stanley Kubrick |
