"upgrading". Why does it suck so?

Usually we go along in a state of things working, not broken. And the old saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

So why do we upgrade? To add features, improve speed, etc. It can be good to upgrade. Sometimes.

But darn it! Why does it have to break things so much of the time, just to get improvements in other areas?

Mac or Windows, doesn't matter. Upgrading usually means frustrations and time-sucks, dealing with new issues.

This is why I'm usually hesitant to add new things to old systems... I'd rather just get a new system to test new things. That isn't always economically feasible though.

Anyways, drat.
