After some lengthy and serious consideration, I have finally decided to roll back my Xara Designer Pro X to Version 8.1 on all my PCs.

I use Xara as my daily driver for everything I do; it is the first program I open and the last one I close.

I won't go into the countless frustrations I've experienced with the "latest version"; suffice to say, it came to a point where I could not take it any longer. I uninstalled whatever that was, 18 or who knows, and now I am happy once more.

I am old, and I am happy.
