Re: Why Did You Go For 11 Now?
I spent that last month suggesting that people NOT jump on the band wagon the instant 11 was released, and, for the last eon, I have been touting drive imaging and cloning as a backup plan that EVERYONE should have in place. I NEVER install any update or software(and I mean ANY) without saving a drive image first. I also keep a cloned drive with the last working version(10.3 since I have moved to 10.3.5). I have installed 10.3.6 and 11 on a separate system drive for experimenting, but all my day to day work is done on the 10.3.5 drive(swapping hard drives is not hard, especially if you run a PC and use a trayless SATA drive cage). Certainly, running partitions is another option that works. Having backup images and/or drives can save you from, not only a sour update, but it can save you from a complete drive crash too
I keep a pair of 2TB USB drives that hold nothing but drive images. I can roll back to PT9, LE8, XP with LE8..........i may never do that, but I CAN.....

Re: Why Did You Go For 11 Now?
Albee I for one have ascribed to your suggestion like glue, and it saved my bacon more than once!
I like tinkering in PT11 now so I can get handy within it and get to know it - went from old school analog over the past 36 years to PT two years ago. Fear was replaced with humility and I won't look back! Your "harping" works! Thanks for all you do. Sent from my PT beating heart

I believe they have to in order to keep the hackers out of your OS... a few of the last releases/updates were security updates to prevent hacking, etc... maybe small bugs, but basically just glad they are still ON IT.
