Apple iLife '05 (Mac) review:4 stars (apple ilife) - I found that as usual with new software, you gain some and lose some. I purchased
ilife so I could export edited music from imovie and use it elsewhere. It took a few days to figure it out but it does work. I am enjoying a few other perks of ilife as well. It will print jewel case covers for you cd's with ease. Overall I am very happy.3 stars (Don't buy unless you have a G4 or G5 system!) - I'm sure this is a nice suite of programs from Apple. I love my Mac but cannot install the full program on my (now) puny 400 MHz G3 iMac - the slowest system it can work on. It requires 4.67GB on your startup disk. That's half of my almost full harddrive! And the installer won't allow it to be installed on an external drive. I've got lots of space there! Must be on startup disk. Dang.... GarageBand also doesn't work on a G3 system like mine. iPhoto 5 on a G3 system leaves off the advanced editing tools. So, be very careful about ordering this. Read the fine print about system requirements. I am very disappointed. Oh well, it's almost time to buy that G5 iMac with the 20" lcd.4 stars (Nice, but nothing groundbreaking) - iLife '05 is nice, and especially so for somebody like me who is coming from the original iLife. However, I am not sure that any of its improvements would be worth $80 from iLife '04.
