-klb- Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 My post starts with the question of will I actually click "post reply", or back? Does my $0.02 really add anything to the understanding of why this post feels so inflammatory to people? If so, can that understanding help us put this post behind us?I guess there is a third option.. I could just delete rest of what I wrote, then click post...

I have to be honest, I like s2, I'm comfortable with s2, s2 hasn't brought "man, I wish xxxxxxx was better" or "man, I wish s2 did xxxxxx" to my lips so I'll just happily blinky-flashy away in 2011 with... s2 of course.

On one of their old TV shows, Gracie made this statement:Almost everything I know, I learned from talking to myself about things that I knew nothing about.Kind of reminds me of someone else!I have kept quiet about this but now enough is enough, you are being UNUSUALLY HARSH to someone for no real apparent reason at all other than you can. In the context of all things internet you DO NOT know the vocal inflections made when Orville made his original post. You don't know if he was serious, curious, angry, or just joking! You are jumping to conclusions and bashing him for it.The questions he asked were innocent enough if you keep things in context. It is normal to ASSUME that S3 was thoroughly tested and was released with NO bugs. Those of us with experience with Microsoft over the years know better but not everyone has those experience.As has been posted their are a few issues with S3, are they major? Depends on whether or not you use that function. The only thing that changed for me and the way I use it is the title bar instead of saying "2.9.2" now says "3.0.2".Judging someone as being "cheap" for not spending $30 this second is way out of line. Unless you know that person personally it isn't your place to judge why they won't spend $30 now but might spend it in January.This is suppose to be a place to help folks out, NOT TEAR THEM DOWN!!

bob Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I put s3 on my laptop but I'll be running s2 on the show computer thru the new year. Warning: This is not necessarily a good idea.If you change a file using S3, it is possible that S2 will not be able to understand that file. Barring bugs, a newer version of software should be able to use a sequence that has been modified by an older version of software just fine, but we make no such guarantee for an older version of software attempting to use a sequence that has been modified by a newer version of software. It's possible that it won't fully understand the newer file, or even that it won't be able to open the newer file at all.For this reason, we always strongly recommend using the same version of software on all computers. If you don't want to use S3 on your show computer, then we strongly recommend not using S3 on any computer (with the possible exception of just to try it out, of course - but not to actually use it in conjunction with your show computer).

bob Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It is normal to ASSUME that S3 was thoroughly tested and was released with NO bugs. It may be normal to assume that, but it is not a good assumption to make. There has never been a version of LOR software that has not contained bugs. Frankly, I suspect that there never will be.

In my case I copied all my sequences to a S3 folder just to play with them. Nothing I'm doing on the laptop will leave the laptop... until next year maybe. Thanks again.

Frankly, I suspect that there never will be.You know that and I know that but most folks "assume" that it is perfect. I have been in the IT industry for 30+ years so yes I am well aware of that BUT you don't need to bash someone for being curious about it. In your arena and mine 1 bug in 10,000 installs is a great record but to that one person it is one too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caniac Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 FWIW, I am not meaning to come across as bashing anyone. Just felt Orville was being attacked for being cheap when all he asked is a simple question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
