world's most expensive free update
I bought the vst 3.6 upgrade from steinberg on cd because I don't have internet facilites (And am unlikely to have, due to system resource shortage).
Info on this chat page (and experience) showd me that 3.6 was faulty, and I would need to download 3.602.
Question: How does a 7mb file fit on a floopy disk?
In other upgrade situations, steinberg offered a split disk solution. This time they didn't.
My solution: Buy a zip drive (Scsi external in this case), Scsi cable and spend money at a so-called internet cafe doing the download (1 Hour).
Total cost for FREE update: £117 (Plus another £6 for the 3.6 cd which turned out to be useless).
Still, at least the zip drive will be useful for other things (Maybe for storing the increasingly long list of VST bugs?).
Steinberg should show some loyalty to customers who part with cash, by providing automatic updates (using real CDs or floppies with internet updates for those who want them).
