Eric, Things have apparently changed. There's a new version for Mac, version 12. I don't know how it compares to the most recent Windows version. In any case, here's a transcript of a chat with their Live Help: Evan: Welcome to PG Music's live help. May we please have your first and last name to better assist you? you: YEs, I'm Andrew. I just bought the latest BIAB for Mac. Is it universal? Can it run on an intel machine? If not, what are your plans for that? Evan: Yes, it can run on an intel machine you: Thank you! you: Oh, to clarify. Can it run as a Mac program on an Intel machine (as opposed to running a Windows version in Boot Camp or a virtual OS) Evan: yes you: Thanks ---- I have very simple needs, so I'd rather just have a Mac version than fuss with Windows on Intel (and buy another copy of Windows and Parallels for my laptop). Thanks for the help. Andrew Levin _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
