Hi Mark, None of your current issues are likely to impact your use of OS X 10.5.x. Contra John, I would recommend downloading and installing the 10.5.7 combo update as soon as you install 10.5, as this method will give you the cleanest and most reliable upgrade path. I would also

If your Mac came with AppleWorks you could try that. AW contains a pretty decent DB. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Hi Noel, It runs in Rosetta (PPC emulation) -- it seems likely that eventually, support for Rosetta will be dropped. More to the point, it's not being sold or distributed anymore, so if Mark doesn't already own it, there's no way for him to buy it. Cheers, - Darcy -

OK, next question. I could ask this at the Apple Store, but since you folks are so kind and the list is slow right now anyway: Looking at Bento, I see it requires Mac OS X.5, which I assume will also be the case if I got full FileMaker. Keeping in mind that I am generally averse to change,

Problems? I haven't had any at all. 10.5.7. Pro Tools works, Finale works, Sibelius works, Digital Performer works. Logic works. The test is really Pro Tools. If that doesn't work, then something is really wrong... Best feature in 10.5 by far is Time Machine. Amazing how often that
