It's a paradigm shift once I look at the context of the product as an educational tool, used by kids.
A group of us are putting together a kids stall at a community fair in late August. We were looking at doing a rock band thing, and have the kids play/sing along, but something like this would be just as cool for the 6-9 age group. I'll report back if we do something with this. And that APAC website is really cool!

Partners in Learning network (eg, APAC website, here<http://apac.partnersinlearningnetwork.com/>) likes it as an educational tool. It's available free to most edu institutions, and has been for a long time. IMO, Gruen Transfer is produced, populated and watched by tools of a different ilk. I'm amazed none of the multitudinous over-the-top comments at the GT website recognized the MSR advert for what it was/is. I know 99% of them are Mac users, and handicapped in perception - too stoopid, it seems. ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tiang Cheng Sent: Thursday, 1 July 2010 3:05 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Microsoft Songsmith - Is it friday yet?
