Customer Reviews

Update - apparently
I hadn't owned my a Mac for long when this came out but I decided to update because I enjoy iPhoto and wanted to use the latest edition of iWeb for my new website. The packages do what they say and they are very easy to use, but I can't say that I'm taken aback by the 'changes'. Nothing so apparent to me yet that I would have bought it had I know the indifference between the versions.

It's a really good product if you don't have iLife already, but if you're just updating, take a really good look at the samples first to make sure you getting your money's worth.
