Are You Thinking About an Upgrade?
I take a very conservative approach to computer upgrades. Too many times I've seen upgrades turn out to be downgrades!
There are many variables that can raise their ugly heads, and make a well-intentioned upgrade turn out to be an unmitigated disaster. What works well on one computer may turn another machine into a boat anchor. Before you fall victim to the upgrade siren-song, a few minutes here may save you much money and grief.
After years of propaganda from the advertising industry, many of us have come to believe their hype. Just because someone's marketing department screams New & Improved doesn't mean you have to have it. If your computer is doing the job you want from it, and the new features of some upgraded program offer nothing you need, why run the risks of an upgrade? After all, the software company's primary goal is to SELL more software.
