Wayne, Less qualified as in not having had lots of experience with the package, I could aggree with. But less qualified in terms of no background whatsoever in what the package is trying to accomplish – no way. Nothing really useful come of it unless the package is targetted at educating the user. For aexample, giving me a midi program to test would be a complete waste eventhough there is a midi keyboard laying around the house here somewhere. I have no bacground in it, nor do I have a legitimate need fo such software. Were I to test it, I would just be able to select menus etc and say whethe the program crashed or not. My input would be wasted unless the point of the program was to teach rank novices the basics of midi and how it is used and what it is used for. If I were a musician who had no midi experience but needed assistance in automatic composing and scoring (can midi do that kind of stuff?) than I would fall into the "usefully inexperienced" category as I would at least have a background in the proram's subject matter. My input would be valid as a first-time software user of software that falls in my real of expertise that is design to assist me with real world problems. wmc
