Subject: Re: [Finale] How or where do you purchase Finale?

And so it came to pass that Matthew Hindson spake:

Yes Michael, I would go direct, the guy there is friendly and gets
things out from USA quite quickly (A lot quicker than ELFA gets
Emagic products).

Website is http://www.ausmidi.com/
Ph 02-9542 4105

They are in Sydney but they will post it out.


 >>      And does anyone know approximately how much it would cost in 
Australian

RRP is $1299 for the full version and $699 academic price if you are
a student or teacher (or minister I think). Academic is the same
version but you can't sell it or transfer it to anyone later on.


 >>      I wonder also whether I should consider getting a Macintosh 
computer and
 >>the Macintosh version, while I'm at it.

Yeah, why not.  :)   Try an eMac for the bigger 17" screen at not too
many bucks (I use a separate 21" Sony connected to a G3 Powerbook)

Agreed. I have an MS Intellimouse Explorer Optical
