Jamie, I'm strongly considering moving up to Logic 7.1 or 7.2 as I have invested
in the EXS Sampler, EVP 88, ES1 Synth, as well as the Unitor and would like
this transition to be as seemless as possible. My only preoccupation is going
to a G5 as it is so very costly...know of any good deals?
Thanks!

Hey Tyrone!
At Apple's stockholder meeting last week, they said that the G5s are sitting
on the shelves. Buyers are not buying them in anticipation of the new Intel
models coming out soon. There will be some price cutting on the G5s, how
much, and when is the question.
You can always buy refurbished models from apple at a discount at the Apple
store on line, and they come with a one year warranty. If you sign up for
a class at a community college, you can get the student discount, it's about
10%. Look at apples discount pricing for education. The best deal on Apple
is if you sign up for the student ADC program. It cost $99.00 for the year,
you get all O/S upgrades for free for a year, and a one time discount on
hardware, usually 20% off, accept on the MacMini. That is the best deal
anywhere, it is below dealer cost. All ways look for the free printer deal
when you buy from Apple.
FYI, in September Apple runs a student special on iBooks, and you get a free
iPod, or equivalent discount.
