Seeking Advice As I Upgrade From X2 To X6

I've used X2 off and on for the past 4 years and avoided any upgrades. But now my PC (a laptop with Windows 7) is on its last legs, so it's time to make a change. I'm also considering switching to a Mac. Any advice? Here's some of my questions:

 

1. Will all my older plans files (even back to V9) still be accessible in X6?

 

2. Will X6 work together with my office PC desktop and a Mac laptop? Can you mix and match PC and Mac operations?

 

3. Does Chief perform well on Mac? Any glitches?

 

Thanks for your input!

as a side note:

 

by skipping the X3,X4,X5 upgrades you saved approx. $1200

 

but to upgrade from X2 to X6 will cost $1395

 

so you are paying more in the long run

 

AND you never had the benefit of the missing versions .....

 

I don't see the sense in skipping upgrades unless you are destitute

or certain that you will "never" need to be current again

 

but when PC's age or die it becomes necessary to get software that can run on the newer PC's

and it becomes necessary to get current again

 

anyways just some thoughts for those who don't see the sense in staying current with SSA

1.  yes, but they should be reviewed for issues - may need adjustments etc

 

2. yes, I hear it is not an issue

 

3. I hear it is not an issues

Just to add to what Lew has pointed out; there is always a little learning, along with unlearning/re-learning between rev.s. 

 

Don't schedule yourself too tightly for awhile, because you'll be on the learning curve, watching videos, and experimenting with the changes. There will be many of us here to help, too.

 

You'll be very pleased with the improvements and will probably want to stay current moving forward.
