How may are still using version 12 or under of BiaB/Mac? I'm assuming most have 2009 or better.
Thanks.

Hi Bob,
I have a G5 dual that came out just before Apple went to Intel. I use it as an idea machine, as well as a DVD duplicator and VHS to DVD converter. I also conver LP's to cd's on it. I have GB on it and part of LogicPro. Some of the Logic stuff will not install on a G5, also cubase 4. For what I want, it is a very serviceable machine. My main computer is an iMac intel duo. So I am pretty good to go. Only wish I had waited 2 more months.
TakeCare
Bill

Me.
Although I do have an intel(egent) iMac ( 2009 edition ) I still use version 12 and under in my "legacy" Mac's because they just never die.
On a LC520 Mac I have the Band plus those other PG Mac programmes such as : Jazzzzz, Gospel, Blues. Still love those and wish MR PG would port them to the iMac OS X SnowLeopard.
I don't know Bob if you still have styles for the Band versions earlier then version 12.
If you do perhaps you could embed the URL that takes me to the exact page rather then having me page thru pages and pages.

All my styles work on version 12 of BiaB/Mac. Go to http://www.nortonmusic.com/styledemo.html to listen to most of them. You can either buy single styles at the above page, or use the links on that same page to buy entire disks. Buying disks are much more economical than single styles because of the "Silent Partners" I must pay for everything I sell (shop cart, MC/V authorization company, MC/V merchants account, business bank account, etc.). BTW, 3 new style disks and a new fake disk are coming out this month!!! Stay tuned. Notes

I inform people of new products 3 ways: 1)I post all new notices on my home page http://www.nortonmusic.com to the right of the "What's New" graphic. 2)I send e-mail notices to all my customers, unless they request that I do not. 3)If you aren't a customer yet and want to be on my e-mail list: 3a) Go to http://www.nortonmusic.com3b) Click "About & Contact Norton Music" in the drop down menu bar 3c) Choose No-Spam e-Mailing List and it will direct you to the page where you can enter your e-mail address. I hope to be releasing 3 new style disks, each with a free intro/ending disk plus a new fake disk in a week or less!!! Notes
