THANKS

thanks to you guys posting these sale prices; saved me some $ the past year.
 
here's one that I haven't seen yet on this forum; and might be useful to some here.
 
If you own any software in the finale family (I think they start in the $50 range) you can upgrade to the premier version for $99. A garitan orchestra library comes with it (though I'm not thrilled with the sound of garitan) it's not a bad bang-for-the-buck.
 
not a bad way to start writing/playing orchestral scores.
