Hi Charles, As a former owner of a G3 and now much happier guy with an Intel Mac, I sympathize with your predicament. The G3 doesn't have Firewire, USB, or a disc burner unless you've added them. The newer Macs don't have SCSI. Besides adding on that hardware, or taking out your old drive

A couple of other points. You don't need any special software to save your Fin2k work as files on the old G3 Mac. You can save them as postscript files, then convert the postscripts files to PDF using Preview on your new Mac. The steps are: 1. On old Mac, choose Laserwriter print driver. 2. Choose

If you want to see what your files will look like in Finale 2009, you have some options: Download the demo. ( I recommend this anyway so you can begin to learn the ins and outs of this version) A faster download is the new Finale Reader. I personally have not done much extensive editing fr

I strongly recommend making PDFs of all your files while you still can run Fin2k. Upgrading the files will almost certainly require extensive re-editing. I recently wanted to enlarge a Fin2k piece from 8.5x11 to 10x13. Ultimately it was quicker to enlarge the PDF rather than going back to the sourc
