Stu, thanks, No, I'm not a MACie, for the simple reason that I can't build them. Wintel gave me the great advantage to do so and never regretted my choice. The possibilities are limitless. Too, to get a really good MAC one needs real money, whereas a good Wintel I can build easily under $700 because I can reuse many of the elements of the older computer. Only a newer MoBo will be needed. Well, enough with the techie stuff.
Maybe I want too much, but I think my quest is not at all unreasonable when suggesting unification such that a package comports GOOD notation, GOOD sequencing and GOOD sapling on par with GOOD sequencing software, GOOD notation software and GOOD sampling software, and all of these COMPLETE.
