And to top it all off, you can download the offline editor from the downloads section and work on cues etc. at home! And I swear I don't work for them! Kinda like that guy on the Wendy's commercials! Except not as bad.
I've had no problems with stability on Strand's boards, just because it runs Linux doesn't mean it's bulletproof. Strand also has an offline editor, as do other manufacturers...
