[Leica] Question Re Using LR3 and PS CS3

[rbaron at concentric.net (Robert D. Baron)]

I have been a civil trial lawyer for over 40 years.  I have found no
reason to be cynical.  :-)

I think you both make good points but for the time being I am going to
err on the side of economy and just upgrade LR.

You would think it has been in public beta long enough that the major
bugs have been squashed, but <sigh> probably not all of them are dead
yet.  I guess I just need another challenge in my life to keep it
interesting.

Thanks for the comments and advice, both of you.
