The suggestion to make PDFs
Hi Charles,
As a former owner of a G3 and now much happier guy with an Intel Mac,
I sympathize with your predicament.
The G3 doesn't have Firewire, USB, or a disc burner unless you've
added them. The newer Macs don't have SCSI. Besides adding on that
hardware, or taking out your old

re-editing. I recently wanted to enlarge a Fin2k piece from 8.5x11 to
10x13. Ultimately it was quicker to enlarge the PDF rather than going
back to the
If you want to see what your files will look like in Finale 2009, you
have some options:
Download the demo. ( I recommend this anyway so you can begin to learn

I personally have not done much extensive editing
A couple of other points. You don't need any special software to save

postscript files, then convert the postscripts files to PDF using
Preview on your new Mac. The steps are:
