I can't believe I copied out my entire Master's Thesis (87 pages of a
wind ensemble score) by hand, using india ink and Cameo paper. I did
have the advantage of a hi-tech electric eraser, which sometimes left
holes in the paper when pressed too hard. Talk about another century!

maybe someone on the list living in sweden could get on a dogsled and
visit this guy to invite him into our century?
I note that the last line on the page says " I then print to a (EPS)
file
from the notation program, using the Postscript printer driver."
Maybe Finale should move up to HIS century.
Ah! MusicTime! That's what I used in high school (albeit the "Deluxe"
version) to scribble out my compositions.I thought it was so cool that
I could hook my keyboard up to my old Windows 3.1 machine and get what
I thought was professional output.
Nowadays, of course, that program isn't worth the CD it's burned to,
but G-VOX is still trying to sell it. It's somewhat of an "Encore
Lite."
I find it interesting (as Richard mentioned) that he mentions no
problems printing to EPS from such an antiquated notation program.
MusicTime still "dumbs down" Windows, even XP, to run in a
Win3.1-style 16-bit architecture!

I know what public school music has done for me. I have witnessed the
journey it has provided my daughter and hundreds of other students I
have been fortunate enough to teach. I am both amazed and outraged that
there are those who would knowingly disenfranchise generations of
humans by excising the practice and inculcation of an entire heritage
from our children’s curricula.
