iLife 09
Supplier: www.apple.co.za
Price : R899
The Apple iLife suite is, says Steve Jobs, one of the biggest reasons people buy a Mac. I’m inclined to agree. There is so much you can do with your Mac right out of the box that you don’t need to dig deep into your pocket for third party software. Unlike some other manufacturers the pre-installed software isn’t second rate, “get you started” software that will soon need to be upgraded. On the contrary, iLife is comprehensive, powerful and not only that; it’s fantastically easy to use.
If you bought your Mac in the last few years, you already have a version of iLife installed. So, is it worth spending R899 for the latest upgrade? Well, let’s have a look at the new features and see. You do get a five-user family pack for your money but that is designed for five users in the same establishment. You shouldn’t really go halves with a friend down the road and use 2 licences each.
iPhoto is the best photo cataloguing application in the world, bar none. That’s a bold statement, I know, but I really believe it’s that good. iPhoto also includes new editing tools which, while not comprehensive enough for professional photographers, are more than adequate for amateurs. iPhoto has had several improvements and new features added in the 09 version and this application alone justifies an iLife upgrade.
