Dear Mackillop and in fact all interested parties, your last point raises an interesing issue.

I work at a sizeable adult education institution. My job description includes technical maintenance and advising the head of music on hardware and software purchases. I have no dedicated technician and in fact, the rest of the college runs mainly on pcs (digital arts however runs macs).

I have been told by the executive committee that 'technical work' is a 'waste of my resource' and that I should ask the IT services to maintain/ugrade etc. Although very helpful, the IT services do not have the specialist knowledge in my area.

My point is the same as the one you make. That in fact today's musician must also be a an informed and critical technician. Moreover, many of our students come to study our courses precisely for our technical expertise.

Perhaps we can start a forum topic for those using Macs in education in our specialised field?

In fact, I shall be requesting the fee for my active membership on Mac Music from the college as I feel it would be a worthwhile long term investment.

Kind regards to all,
Midiwife.
