I'm a composer/arranger, and I would be at a loss without Sibelius. I used to use Finale, but I switched over because I was sick of having to reboot to OS 9 to write my music. I haven't looked back since.
It costs $599 full price, but for educational and/or religious organization users the educational price is good, and if you shop around a bit, you can get it even cheaper (I found my copy for $170).
Hope this helps!

...Specify that an existing ban on the "advertisement" of any device that is used primarily for surreptitious electronic surveillance applies to online ads. The prohibition now covers only a "newspaper, magazine, handbill or other publication."
Woohoo!! No more X10 ads!!

If you're going for a PowerBook G4... WAIT!
New ones are probably going to be here by the end of september.
otherwise, go for it. all of apple's product lines are extremely mature right now, so reliability should be high.
