Re: how do I buy old iLife cheaply?
said by DonLibes  :Just out of curiosity, will iLife '09 even work on my machine or does the software contain a "feature" that would prevent it from running? (My experience is not reassuring - for example, Photo Booth disables the background image feature because it deems my G5 to be too slow.) Everything will work with the exception of iMovie, which does need a faster chip.
You are better off just buying the newest version from apple, unless you find a real go deal on ebay for an earlier version.

After all, consider Amazon's prices for used software:
iLife '09: $50.99
iLife '08: $53.98
iLife '06: $78.99 (most expensive by far!)
iLife '05: $24.99
Rather interesting that iLife '09 is so cheap while iLife '06 is the most expensive. That correlates with what I've heard about user satisfaction of the different versions. |
