Dear Jordan
I am very grateful for the support I have gotten
from you and other members
of the list. For one thing I am over my panic
that we should get a least a gig
of ram. I will look into the
macconnection.
I have learned that there are clergy discounts and discounts for
religious
institutions and that there is a world of music software that I am
totally
unqualified to even make a suggestion about.
Again thanks and if I can reciprocate please do not hesitate to call on
me.
