New ware installing now...
Jan. 20th, 2006 10:20Got my new iWork/iLife in the post this morning, so they're currently getting installed on the workmac. Jeez, there's a lot of goop in iLife.
No doubt this was another "early adopter victimization" purchase, it's not like I've yet made extensive use of much beyond iPhoto and iTunes. Pages was fine for a v1 release, but still had some annoying quirks (like the way it slowed to an absolute crawl when frame borders were turned on); I'm hoping that v2 will be a significant improvement. I don't have much use for Keynote at the moment, so that makes Pages a pretty pricey entry-level layout tool. I was really hoping that iWork '06 would pack a spreadsheet, but no.
Still, I like to keep up-to-date with my software, and they were significantly cheaper purchased through the corporate plan we have set up with Apple, so...
My biggest rationalization with this purchase was to get ahold of iWeb and use it to revamp my long-in-need-of-revamping website. In my copious free time.
