General thoughts for those of you new to V4:
Patience
You will need it in the beginning. There is a lot to download if you don't wait for the DVD. There will be several downloads after the big one. The indexing will take a long time. If you are playing around with the software during indexing, things will be slow. Keep being patient. When all is installed and indexed, you will be amazed. Your patience will be rewarded!
Learning Curve
It really is not that bad, though it might seem so at first. Remember that V3 will not be touched. What I did at first was to keep studying and preparing on V3, and play on V4. Over a fairly short period of time, I was in V4 all the time. Don't get discouraged. Believe me, this product is light-years beyond V3.
Things You Miss
In some cases, V4 simply does them differently. Collections are one example. They are not there in the way you knew them in V3. However, there is a different approach to them and once you learn it, you will like it better. Some features are not in the new version but are coming. Be patient. Logos will get them in there, as promised.
One Last Thought
Don't be afraid of the cloud!
My "ah-ha!" moment came one day early in the testing when I was running late and had to leave the church office in a hurry. I had made some changes to my layouts and some other things. I ran out the door without saving anything. When I got home later that day, I fired up Logos, and it was if I had never left the other computer. There were my layouts, my work, everything - not just saved on the original computer but saved and showing up on another computer 10 miles away. I loved it.
