Gordon, Can you talk about these dynamic disks here, or is this an off topic thing? I'm running fusion 4 right now and am seriously thinking about getting fusion 5. There's only one thing I really need to use fusion for, but right now it's a great big deal, so having things work smoothly under fusion is important! I'm wondering if it's worth getting 5 now or just holding out for 6 or whatever the next incarnation is. Caitlyn
