Finale's price has been cut almost in half recently, because Coda finally
realized that for a 1000 bucks, people were getting a program that, while
incredibly powerful, is also incredibly difficult (I have other words for it
that can't be said due to net-iquette) and slow - even on a 2Meg Mac SE with a 
hard drive.

There is also a stripped down version called Finale Jr. (or something like 
that) that sells for even less. I would be curious to know what features have
been changed/removed in this new version.
