I have a few questions and a few things for sale:

1) I'm looking for a good music setup, both keyboard and software.  Can
someone recommend a good software package?  I need both sequencing and
scoring, although score printing is not _too_ important.  I didn't like
EZScore as it was pretty limited - no tempo changes, input was tedious,
etc.  Price is not
too important, and I'd like something that can go on my hard disk without
resorting to a floppy disk key.  (I have a mega 2, 60 meg hard disk, mono
monitor)

2) What's a good value in keyboards?  I need at least 8 note polyphonic,
multitimbral, good rich sounds, touch sensitivity, and ideally something
I can program patches for.  Price should be under $1000 (well under, if
possible), and I really have no idea what's out there.

3) Any Blood Money players out there?  This is one of the most playable
and enjoyable games I have ever seen, but what I want to know is: are
there any cheats for this game?  I eventually finished it without cheating,
but there must be _some_ way to cheat!  I did find one undocumented thing:
If you press one of the function keys (f7, I think) shortly after the game
starts, the game switches from 50Hz flicker mode to a 60Hz smooth display,
which is much easier on they eyes at 3am.  Don't press f10 as that bombs the
computer!

4) Things for sale:  I have complete developers docs (about 8 or 10 thick
binders) with full Gem, gemdos, bios, hardware docs etc.  I haven't used
them for a year (since I have a 68040 machine 8^)) $65 / Best Offer

I also have GFA Basic 3 (Interpreter, compiler, resource construction program)
Prospero C, Prospero Pascal, 
Prospero Fortran, Prospero Toolkit (assembler and resource construction set)
Word Writer 2.0  (all with original docs etc)
Make reasonable offer on all or part by email.


Sorry for the diversity of topics here (look ma, something for everyone)
