Fourthly, Finale Mac Support specifically told me that there were a lot of complaints about the Finale 2005 CD not working in optical drives on certain older PowerBook G4 models, and that if they sent me a fresh CD it would almost certainly have the same problem. Gr.I just don't buy this.

California (I note from you sig) is quite notorious for having flaky power (so is Hawaii, for what it's worth). If you don't have a UPS, I would strongly recommend getting one. They're getting to be quite inexpensive, and well worth the cost. Uhuh, Cal. is flaky in many ways, power being one.
