Which is kind of my point, you're making blanket statements about Fin 2006 being slower, which is patently not true as it's not affecting me, or probably anyone else with a machine that can harness the core graphics stuff. The only negatives I'm seeing are fairly rare things to do with EPS files which won't affect a lot of people unless they use a lot of weird shapes in their scores. I'm trying to assemble it all for macsupport now. My thinking is that MM! should be utilising the latest technologies, if you're not benefitting from that work now then you will be in a couple of years time or whatever, that's always been the case. When I was running a 6500 and it was getting a little long in the tooth (I don't like to remember it) upgrading anything meant a slow down, OS, applications, anything. If you've got a mac mini, you should be no more suprised that you can't run Finale at 100% of it's ability than you should expect to run Photoshop at 100% of it's ability - mac mini is clearly a consumer rather than a pro machine. Just as you shouldn't be suprised to find that the number of Logic Pro audio tracks and DSP power available to you won't be anything like what's available to me. That said, you ought to be able to select a couple of bars in mass edit without a long delay - all my thoughts on power are really about the GPO implementation.
