Which seems to me to be an argument for keeping your old computer as it currently is once you get your next computer. Same as keeping a turntable to play LPs after purchasing a CD player. Knock-wood, I've never had to replace a Mac because it stopped working. I don't see Andrew's problem as a flaw of computer, software, or user, but just part of life. There may not be an elegant solution that fits all possible contingencies, but it strikes me that an old-machine-for-old-files solution doesn't seem so out of whack...
Maybe not if there's only 2 older computers required, but if Apple's recent history is any example, it won't be long before that will become 4 or 5 computers, which most self-employed publishers or composers/arrangers simply haven't the space to keep setup and running.
But it won't be long before we're all running WindowsScenicViewOSxi and we'll all be screwed as we all have to buy computers built on the resurrected 6502 architecture. :-)
