Most of the time, actually all of the time I like having the most up to date version. Answer me this, would you still buy VHS if you had a DVD player?

Grow with the times, get MX, unless you think you can't handle it ;)

Actually MX is better for beginners than Flash 5 or lower because of the easy to use interface!

I agree with the others and I also think if you're going to rack your brains learning a program, might as well rack your brains on the latest version. =)

Exactly. The coding scheme and interface has change a bit in MX since Flash 5. So you could spend your whole time learning Flash 5, only to update (if that happens) and have to relearn almost everything.
