I don't really want to sound we are debating meaningless Mac vs Wintel, but Mac can boot off anywhere by just pressing Opt key on boot which lists all the possible boot volumes. That alone, crisis control on Mac is much easier and faster than PC without even talking about registry. I am just curious. When I go to location recording job including my own performance, I always carry 2.5" emergency drive. If and when my Powerbook flips due to HD trouble or something, I just attach 2.5" drive, boot it off, and finish recording. This has happened once, actually. If I have time before the show, I can even run Utility to repair the problem, or restore the internal volume itself from the emergency drive in time. On PC, how do you control crisis like this? -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
