Dude, you are not living in the real world. Computers crash, this is
a reality that you have to deal with. If you can't deal with that you
will be a highly frustrated individual in your attempts. Software
can't make up for every hardware limitation. Having had experience
with numerous software multi-trackers, I can tell you that Vegas is
hands down the most stable I have ever worked with.

Try Cubase for a week and let me know how you like it. Bug city. You
are not dealing with a bug, you are simply hitting the ceiling of your
system's performance. SCSI drives, more ram, faster CPU, etc. All of
these thing could help you out. You can't just blame it on SF.
