Ah, but it *will* load. The disks you receive as an upgrade is a complete install (no previous version required). Same is true for Finale 2004. > (b) If I do receive a usuable version of 2004 from Coda, how do I transfer > my old Finale files to the new I Mac?

Nab a USB Zip100 drive at Wal-Mart (or your favorite computer store) for $35-40. Plug that into your iMac and read all of your old Zip disks. You might find the portable Zip handy for other uses as well (I know I did) Hope this helps Allen On 7/3/04 11:52 PM, "Dean Estabrook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ok. perhaps one of you computer mavins can help...I am technologically > challanged, to say the least.
