Yeah – that’s been the only real core improvement for some time now. Pretty sure PPro was the first up on that. Magnetic timeline? That doesn’t qualify as an upgrade.

The first one that offered 64 bit got my money. Might as well be able to use all the extra ram you can put in the boxes now.

Upgrading would suggest what you’re getting is better than what you had. It should also be absolutely necessary. Otherwise it’s just keeping up with the Jones’.
Rock on!

The ole “you’re in the wrong industry” canard.
The guys who don’t go bankrupt while simultaneously accepting their Oscar are on to the needless upgrade con game.
Rock on!

Funny you would mention some good old fashioned technology like matches.
Rock on!

Good post Bob Zelin.
In the end – what about the art? Huh? Honestly the most beautiful paintings I’ve ever laid eyes on are those 30 thousand year old scribbles at Chauvet Cave.
Maybe we take our tools a little too serious at the expense of creativity.
P.S Bob, maybe you shouldn’t be in the business if you can’t tell a compelling story unless you have the latest gadget from Apple. LOL
Rock on!

The law of diminishing returns is upon us. ESPN is cancelling its channel with 3D content for instance. Sometimes – even as exciting as the tech is – it’s really not a necessity. That’s just a casual example.

Hoops hoops and more hoops. Here is Apple’s problem – they market their technology as the best things since slice bread and the very next year they tell you why it’s awful and you need to upgrade to this entirely different thing with all new hardware and software to match. Most people only fall for that trick a couple times at best.
Rock on!

The bigger more successful businesses – in every industry – hold on to their legacy systems to the bitter end. Good or bad – that’s just been my observation.
I know for a fact – they do not like to have their systems and 5 year budgets held hostage to forced upgrades, e.g., ….if we upgrade our software we have to buy new hardware? Huh? or vice versa.
Rock on!

Love technology – also love it when the innovator has the common courtesy to add a few simple lines of code so the legacy hardware doesn’t overwhelm the landfill.
Rock on!
