Al, yes, it is quite stable. I do remember some of those 'white screen hangs' but I haven't seen one in over a year. Even in beta testing, we tried but couldn't crash the program. And yes, there has been two and half years of normal bug squashing.

Of course, there are many substantial improvements in features since then, too. Perhaps one of the more surprising for you will be that the size of the whole program installation is only about 35% of what it was, thanks to a new algorithm for the RealTracks, yet the sounds and flexibility for tempo stretching are better than before. With the new smaller footprint on your hard drive, you have room for a few hundred new RealTracks since your version.

As John said, the computer requirements have gone up a bit, but I run on a 2007 Core 2 Duo with no trouble. If you do have a really old machine, download and run Geekbench and post your score here, and we can make a general recommendation. Even on older machines, there are checkboxes that can help when running on slower systems.
