If you have the blue XSKey, buy the US$199 upgrade to Logic Studio 8 and install it on your MacBook. This will contain everything your copy of Logic5 had and a zillion more things. Even that is above and beyond "hobbyist", let alone spending thousands of dollars on a Mac tower and PT HD. f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>
