When buying "cheap" software on ebay be aware that you may be purchasing illegal copies. For instance, could this Sibelius
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270022664449 really be genuine - I didnt buy it because I assumed it wasnt.
<Added>Incidentally, I find Finale 2006 terribly idosyncratic and its GUI fails to properly comply with Windows conventions. In that respect Sibelius is better but every-one has their favourite software - often for reasons which may not be relevant to others!
