Update:

Scott wrote a nice letter to the Tracktion folks who responded with a very nice reply on how to try using the original disks to get the plugins into the new version after upgrading. I have to admit I've been sorely tempted to pay the money and try their advice during moments of frustration mainly because I never realized how much I relied on my "go to" plugins all right there no having to hunt around. But I read on their forum that T5 will be out soon so I'll wait and see what they come up with before I would actually give in to that temptation.

Meanwhile, I have forged ahead learning Reaper and overall I really do like it, although I'm still finding my way around the program, especially trying to find new "go to" plugins - there are so many to try. I guess with anything new you like some things better and still miss some really nice things you had.

Anyway, nerves jangly only using it for 16 days but I dove in and did one - I posted my first mix using Reaper in the Users Showcase.

No turning back now. <grin>

Thanks again to all of you for helping me.
