While I don't believe that any of my misfortunes will or would be fixed by updates, I wish warnings about breaking old Power PC Apps (read ADOBE) had been more clear.

I bought my first Mac in 1985, and my most recent in 2010. I don't throw away useful tools - like PhotoShop since 1995 and inDesign since 2003 - just because it is a new season. It's much harder upgrading Adobe products these days since most are bundled in CS this or that.

I like to have redundant software on both of my computers, so I can have a backup tool in case of emergencies while on the road. Now, I'm a couple of layers more exposed when it comes to backups.
