<p>Personally, I find the software complicated to use. I've used books to learn how to use it a few times, and the most recent time felt pretty comfortable with it, but I find that I forget how to use it in relatively short time with lack of use.

I suspected that the book was written for a slightly older version, which meant that some of the information wasn't exactly the same as what I found on screen, but I was able to figure it out - even with my old brain.</p>
