Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

great thoughts Greg.

I just got the upgrade from FedEx.  So I'll be posting soon as to my 
success.  I too am on an upgraded G4 - still holding off on the G5 
until it gets a bit more stable.  those posts about bad RAM really 
sound horrible.  As the Apple RAM is soooo expensive, I'll have to wait 
and see.

cheers
