digital idiocy

A couple of weeks ago I upgraded our lab of Macs to OS X 10.3.7 — a free, minor upgrade. All is fine. Today we find that Pro Tools 6.4 no longer runs on our systems, which is irritating. Okay, my bad, I should have fully investigated the consequences of such a system upgrade — we’ll upgrade to Pro Tools 6.7, which is rated to work with 10.3.7. Ah, but nooooo, the upgrade to Pro Tools 6.7 is not free. We’re not going to shell out money for just for a single point version upgrade, so I suppose we’ll have to permanently downgrade our systems because of this. I feel like I’m in a fucking cheese shop skit.
