[QUOTE="Joe Diver, post: 463566, member: 34249"] I guess it all depends on your level of use and what you intend to get out of it. I just got my new iMac last week as a replacement for my home PC....all I do is surf, email, pictures, music, videos, the occasional document, burn CD's and DVD's, manage my webspace.....that's it really, and the iMac with iLife08 does it beautifully and simply. Exactly what I was looking for, exactly what I needed in a beautiful machine that screams and "just works"....I spend my whole day solving very complex issues on high end servers...I want my personal system to be simple, just work, and I don't have to think much to use it. I'm not a power user by any definition, but I'm certainly not "computing/creativity challenged" and it's not what I bought the machine for. If I were a professional photographer, professional musician, web developer, etc....or even just a very "serious" hobbiest, then the iLife08 suite would probably not meet my needs, as it sounds like it does not meet yours. Use the right tool for the job is always good advice, rather than slam the screwdriver when you needed a hammer. [/QUOTE]
