Ok, great. Moving on. What? I'm saying that apple is rated at or damn near the top. Meaning the quality is top noch and when something does break, apple generally makes it good with AppleCare. There are lots or reports of people getting whole new computers from apple....like people who had problems with the liquid cooled g5 towers... And there are plenty of Consumer Reports "Recommended Buys" for PC etc, and cheaper. As for their products, do you want to throw in the Android format versus the iPhone and the numerous issues with its phones (Consumer Reports can fill you in on that). Ah, consumer reports. Really an unbiased and trustworthy source aren't they? And I think there are PLENTY if YouTube videos showing the exact same problems with droids (ie death grip) So what? A lot of the software is pre-installed anyway, and that's not a factor in buying an Apple product? I've known Apple users that had to reinstall applications after a major Apple upgrade. If we limit this to just installing Finale, I mentioned earlier many on the list appear to install upgrades or fixes anyways. *Shrug* So when you decide to upgrade your pcs motherboard, you have to reinstall everything....including windows. Meaning you need to contact Microsoft to get them to move the license to a new machine. And finale. And everything else. So.....hardly a great upgrade path You missed my point: Apple is going to a more restrictive model for what software it will offer to sell on its Apps store: that means even less software will be available in the future. This is pure FUD. There is nothing to suggest that apple is going to ban non-apple store software. They simply provide the option to uses and developers. Clown pie is good huh? I live in the fantasy world where I can buy a computer that's cheaper, runs more software and doesn't box me in. Ah, the Crux of the matter. The 1990s reasoning that more software is better. But weren't we limiting it to finale? No? And you are boxed in with windows. Are you going 64 bit or 32? Ultimate or the lesser versions? _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
