Point taken. Let's just say that I intend to wait at least until the PBs come with OS X 10.4 pre-installed. As much as I really want an Apple, I don't really *need* one until I go to graduate school (which will be another year or two). So, while I don't relish the thought of waiting, I have some time if needs be. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
