Hi Mac,

Thanks for your speedy answer. Here's some other questions I had. My daughter has a macbook that will run the program and I could probably borrow it from time to time. My thought was to get one of the programs with the USB drive and then I could make my tracks using the macbook and then just plug the USB into my G5 to load the tracks into Digital Performer to further sequencing, recording,ect.

So one, does that sound like a workable plan. And second question, there are two USB alternatives one with 80 gig and one with 500 gig, the main difference being the wav files for real instruments. Now I already have all kinds of samples and a dedicated sample player- Machfive 2, so I'm assuming larger drive wouldn't really add anything, but am I overlooking anything that I might wish I had gotten the larger program?
