Don't forget to use "OMG/LOL/derisno/perv" as in for example: "OMG, why 
are you using 6.7, are you a total perv? Derisno past! LOL." :)

There is a history to every product, and not only do we learn a lot by 
comparing past to present, but the latest version of LC that people take 
for granted owes a lot of fixes and some features to Paul in particular 
due to his meticulous work and testing, providing a huge benefit to the 
entire community!

It's wonderful to keep up with recent LC releases, especially where 
Apple is concerned, but sometimes circumstances and LC bugs/features can 
affect the speed of that process. Then you have people who grab the 
latest DP, precisely because it is the very latest thing, and get 
confused trying to tell the difference between their own bugs and DP 
bugs. I help people with that often enough to know that a chorus of 
"just grab the latest" is advice that needs clarification.

I believe this menu issue is also a current bug in LC 8.1.2! Haven't 
tried it yet in LC 9, but I will soon. LC 6.6 was okay, so it must have 
been introduced in 6.7 and remained until now.

Change for the sake of change keeps some people incredibly happy, others 
less so! The new interface does take some getting used to, and the old 
interface definitely had its strengths too, as I've realized lately with 
certain particular tasks and with teaching others. Much to learn from 
comparing and critiquing LC versions, enjoying the very latest as well 
as some past specimens!
