I hardly ever have ideas for features I cannot find in Apple's included
software, but the absence of one feature really stands out for me:

long to enter data (gives me the spinning beach ball much too

Just got my copy of iWork'08. The Numbers app is new of course and after
some ten years with 'the' other spreadsheet application - it will take
time to get accustomed to the new look and feel.
Tried this in Numbers:

Hey all
I just received my iLife '08 from Apple. I like this program very
much, as it is easy to use. There is only one that I can figure out to
do. That is that I can figure out why one of my photo pages in iWeb

Stupid question time..
I just got a Macbook pro laptop after 15+ years of PC's & dos 5.0 thru
windows xp.............

I currently own a Mac mini 1.5 PPC that came with iLife06.  I see now
that iLife08 is available, but it looks like iMovie will require a
better machine.  Do you all think that iPhoto08 will be compatible with
the rest of my iLife06 suite and even iTunes etc.?

I am dedicated to iWeb for development.  It's easy, it's pretty, it's quick.

iLife '08 in October. I mainly want it for iWeb, so that I can create
a website features the tons of photos I have from vacations.

Okay, now it's over 2 years later, and I've moved on to an intel iMac
running 10.4 and GarageBand 3.0.4.  Suddenly, the method described
below doesn't work anymore.  Despite changing my system preferences
sound input setting to line-in, I can't get GarageBand to record any

"songs" inside my iTunes Music Folder to suit _my_ organizational needs,
