I hear you guys. But, God, the thought of dealing with a new computer is such a hassle, aside from any monetary burdens. With my limited knowledge of technology, it takes me forever to get everything hooked up and running every time I change. One other issue, if I do load the MacFin 06 on

Dean, When you start up a new Mac for the first time, it will ask you if you want to transfer all your data and settings from an existing Mac. If so, all you need is a FireWire cable to hook up the two computers. It's extremely easy and reliable. You can have two simultaneous installation

Ok, thanks. Sounds as if there are some significant probs going on with installation at present ... perhaps I should wait a while anyway before installing on any machine. Dean On Jul 28, 2005, at 10:28 AM, Darcy James Argue wrote: Dean, When you start up a new Mac for the first time, it

My experience with GPO is that more processing power is needed rather than RAM. My 933Mhz Quicksilver can run like, um, 3 instruments before things start going south Dean M. Estabrook wrote: Yeah, mine is due in in a couple of days. Can't wait to hear the chatter revolving around this

Oh, oh ... does that mean my iMac G3 with its lowly 600 or so Mhz ain't going to run this application at all? Naturally I'm sad, since I already ordered the thing. Feeling bad in California On Jul 27, 2005, at 11:50 AM, Eric Dannewitz wrote: My experience with GPO is that more processing

Dean, If you look at the recommended system specs for Finale 2006, they recommend a G4. Finale 2006 will run on your machine (about as well as earlier OS X versions), but I doubt you'll be able to do much with the included GPO instruments. - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On

Yeah, it probably will load, but you'd be lucky to get 1 or 2 instruments to run. Honestly, GPO sounds great, but I'd suggest investing in a separate computer for it. Like go out, get a Pentium 4 machine, windows, and a good sound card. And slave it to your Mac Midi setup ;-) Dean M.
