I have a 13 year old apple macintosh that works like a dream. It's loaded with
programs, and this great little machine got me through law school and helped me launch my
career. When my employer switched over to a compaq system, I could no longer use this
machine to work on projects at home and was forced to pick up an etower package instead.
For the last 5 years, it's sat in my basement waiting. Everything works perfectly,
including the printer, and all of the parts are original. Any tips on where I might take
this machine so that it can be used? It's a shame to let it sit here and rot.

Say WHAT? There are dozens of music programs for the PC, and some are good
enough for studio production work (like Cakewalk and Pro Tools). Where'd
you ever get that idea?

From an admitedly small sample. The local schools grab every obsolete
Mac I offer them. Everything from SEs to early nubus PPCs. The
instructors love them. They also say, "Windows don't do music
composition." What Windows programs score from MIDI?

I use a product called Sonar XL. Made by Cakewalk. You can even compose
directly on the score. It's helped me learn music theory I forgot twenty
years ago.

Thanks all. I stand corrected. (But the original poster might still
want to contact his local school's music department.)

Yup. I wrote and published music for my grade school and high school bands
using a 486, WfW 3.11, and a program called Finale. Even then, Finale was
industrial strength. It handled everything from regular ol' clarinet or
trumpet music to drum parts to guitar tablature.

My Jr. High band director used that. I saw a copy at Half Priced Books the

Alpha Four (Five?) database of all the music in the band library. Back then
I spent many an hour volunteering in the band hall.
But I have very fond memories of Tandy's Deskmate "Sound" and
"Music"
programs. I loved to play with those. Was so happy my parents spent the
extra money and got the (then) top of the line SL/2, which was one of the
ones that had the Sound and Music programs. Ah, simpler times...
