I have backups of versions that are two years old, but they won't work on my current machine

Wish I had backups of my car though

C'mon--the Pro deal is pretty decent, The devs tweak a few settings to give us a bit (not really very much) of an advantage, for a token amount, and allow us to get updates for 1/2 a year.

Seems more than fair. I still think of it as a donation, and use the "expire" notes to remind me that it's time to donate again to keep this FREE opensource project going.

If you really want Pro, you can even build one yourself or have someone do it for you. So really, it's not like LW is out to scam anyone.

Give 'em a break guys! If you seriously want whatever little advantage Pro gives you, just ask around.

Oh--as for Pro Support, I wish they'd just can the whole thing. I'd rather they just spend those dollars on the developers and open-source contributors and keep this project going forward as fast as possible.
