why buy a newer and faster computer? your old 486 could do things without any apparent difficulty.

Eric Stevens
Every computer upgrade I have made here at home has been forced by software and OS upgrades. The computer upgrade comes with the new territory.

Sandman
False logic. Why use new software and install OS upgrades when the old version could to things without any apparent difficulty?

Eric Stevens
It's not false logic. The newer software and accompanying hardware usually offers a significant speed increase.

That's the point, isn't it? nospam is making that very point with LIghtroom - that it offers a signifcant speed increase to the workflow.

nospam "why spend more time than necessary doing something?"

You replied with:

Eric Stevens "Why learn a new way of doing something when you can laready do it without much apparent difficulty?"

So if your old operating system and old computer did stuff without "much apparant difficulty", why did uou update it? And your response: Because it offers a speed increase - which is *exactly* why nospam thinks one should use Lightroom

<snip examples of a faster computer doing things faster>

Imagine that list after someone switched to Lightroom - and all the things they're suddely doing quicker, ey?
