Thanks to everyone who has replied and offered their experiences.
I am still alive which I guess is the main thing
ALthough last week I discoved my chemotherapy regime wasn't working anymore and my Pancreatic tumours have started growing again.
I am now on a new chemotherapy regime and also starting targetted radiotherapy after Christmas on January 2nd.
I am still learning mty way around Pro Tools 9 but I do intend to upgrade to version 10 soon.
I am glad to hear it is working in version 10.
That is another reason to upgrade soon.
I have a feeling that 64 bit PT 11 is closer than many think and I would not be suprised to hear this anounced sooner rather than later.
I will upgrade to 10 and then go from 10 to 11 when 11 is updated twice becuase mucjh though I like bug busting and contributing to the success of PT - because of my medical condition I wont have extra time available to be making music and in effect beta testing. I need a stable product.
I wouln't mind doing beta testing for Avid - but I just think this year might well be my last and as a father and husband I have other things to prepare and do.
