[HANASHIR:15896] Computer Specs

[HazzAnne <HazzAnne...>]

Hi - I have been offered a brand, new Dell computer from a donor at my 
congregation. I believe the top $$ amount for hardware and software is $1500.  
It will be networked to my aging laptop (266 mHz) and HP PSC 2100. I have a 
donated desktop which will be added to the network - it's not paticularly fast, 
won't run heavy grapics, etc., but is solid for some basics. I currently only 
have land-line internet access (I know, slow - but one thing at a time!)

I'm computer literate, so I know of the general things to ask for. It's the odd 
thing or two about which I have questions.

1.  How can I take cassette tapes of a congregational tutor chanting liturgy 
and turn them into music files that I can then burn onto CD's?
2.  How can I take these same cassette tapes and turn them into Finale-type 
files that I can use to print out music?
3.  What do I need to ask for now in terms of being able to set up a keyboard 
for MIDI input/output?
4.  What kind of keyboard, in the modest price range, should I be considering?

Thanks for any and all suggestions.
