I'm still trying to find that elusive muse, and have discovered I've had to go back to square one with Apo - I seem to have forgotten everything I ever knew. Oh well, it keeps me out of trouble :) Better a late response than never? ;) Good to hear all is well with you!

Sorry to hear about your fugitive muse - don't think I've ever gone more than a few weeks without at least dabbling. As for 7X, it's main advantage is stability, especially with respect to large numbers of plugins. It also has some nice little extra features, can handle 3D but is missing built-in addition of pre-linked transforms. There was talk of issuing a stable 2.1 release before moving on to Apophysis 3, but we shall see... Hi Gill, yes I’m fine, still bimbling along and enjoying the summer!

I've not been very productive with fractals at all for many, many months: my muse has apparently buggered off on a very long holiday ... but I still trawl the same places to view them and am always impressed by your mastery of Apo. I'd given up with Apo completely (went as far as not installing after OS upgrade) but I might give that 7x version a try.

I shall probably retain mine for those very occasional gems that lead to a DVD purchase for future enjoyment, although I know that I could go without and avoid any form of cold turkey. You'll probably enjoy the sentiment in this: http://thecleaver.blogspot.com/2009/08/death-to-videodrome-long-live-new.html Glad to see a new fractal there! I'm currently obsessed with the hypertile plugins for Apo :D 5 years is impressive!

Yep, that's overkill! I should have configured mine up for RAID after the HD loss, but I ended up with just the daily backup, configured to run at evening mealtime because for some reason, it virtually disables web browsing.
