When to switch from DC to Media?
I still have several months to go on my Dreamcard license. I can think of some reasons to stick it out to the bitter end, and some reasons to move to Media pre-emptively.
Paying $49 for Media is not a serious problem for me.
What's the wiser course?
If I move to Media and start entering data in my stacks, will the stacks still work right in Dreamcard 2.7?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

It's me, the OP, with a new username.
Yeah, I own a copy of DC 2.7. My 2.6 license had many months left on it when RR 2.7 came out. I guess there was a short window of opportunity to upgrade to 2.7. Apparently DC was dropped when Media was released.
Cheers,

Revolution Media didnt replace DreamCard. DreamCard we eliminated on its own (de)merits.revdan wrote:I don't even know there will be a DC 2.7, will there? I thought Rev had indicated that Media replaces DC?If I move to Media and start entering data in my stacks, will the stacks still work right in Dreamcard 2.7?

I'm afraid I didn't get a definite answer to my question. I'm the OP, but I changed my username. I understand this might be a trivial question, but I lack confidence in my ability to get it right.
My Dreamcard license is valid for about another year, as I recall. Aside from the smallish cost of buying a Media license, are there important pros and cons to switching to Media now vs. later?
I understand there are some differences between the products. As far as I know, I'm not doing anything in Dreamcard that Media won't do, but I'm not certain.
If I open my Dreamcard stacks in Media and save them, will they still open and run in Dreamcard?
(I'll back up, of course, but I'm entering data every day, and saving a new backup every day, so restoring to a backup only a few days old would cause me serious data loss.)
Thanks in advance,
