Good iLife Article

Well... I've been really busy and haven't really tried all the iLife Apps in great depth, but I must say I love the suite!First, every new shipping Mac gets the latest version of iLife free. Minor updates are free via Software Update, and Major upgrades like the iLife '04 cost $49 for the entire suite. And look what iLife '04 offers: GarageBand (new), iMove 4, iDVD 4 (now able to be used on Macs without SuperDrives), iPhoto 4, iTunes (free download).A few months ago, I made a cool slideshow movie with music via iMovie 3, exported it to iDVD 3, and burned a DVD that worked in every DVD player I had access to... The ease of use was amazing, and the final product looked superb. I have plans to use the latest versions over the summer when I have more free time.Until recently I never used iPhoto to organize my images like I use iTunes to organize my huge Music collection. I don't know why I never used iPhoto, but now I use it to organize ALL of my digital images. The features and speed, are just amazing.I'm one of those people who sees something and drools like Homer Simpson. :lol: When I ordered iLife '04, I also placed and order for the GarageBand Jam Pack. Now, I will admit... "I have no professional training" :lol: when it comes to music, and my first song out of GarageBand would be either listed as "unclassifiable" or maybe "space music." :lol: I haven't had time to explore it more, but I think it's a great app.I too would also pay double for the iLife suite (read the above linked article for context)...

I'm looking forward to doing the same thing, though without the iDVD part, since I don't have a SuperDrive in either Mac. I got an external DVD burner for Christmas, so I'm thinking I should be able to burn the DVD using Toast. Is it pretty straightfoward to make a slideshow movie with iMovie? I've got a program on my PC that creates self running CD slide shows with music. I'm looking to do the same thing on my Mac, but to a DVD instead of CD.
