| 582113 | 2007-08-19 08:22:00 | One more thing on the new iMac. More specifically iLife '08. It seems that some folks think that the new version of iMovie is rubbish. Quite possibly it is just way too different and too simple in how it does and doesn't do some stuff. Take a closer look at iLife '08 before you shell out your dosh. Or download iMovie HD for free if you buy a new iMac. |

| 582114 | 2007-08-19 08:33:00 | From what I gather, people were expecting to be able to do more with it, but Apple has gone the other way and made it a bit simpler possibly with the belief that you would move up to Final Cut Express. You can get iMovie 6 to go with iMovie 8 | winmacguy (3367) | ||

I know what you are saying, but Apple stores and schools are quite different environments. 30+ 11 to 12 year olds x 30 or so classrooms (small space) and then factor in the kid with a basketball, the kids play-fighting inside or the one who has forgotten to take his ratline. Stuff happens - which is the selling point for this pretty fella... www.r-1.co.nz I know you want one. |

| 582119 | 2007-08-20 04:42:00 | Well let us know how they survive. End of day one of normal classroom use... and six have at least one finger or thumb print on the screen. No other dramas yet. |

| 582121 | 2007-08-20 12:31:00 | Thats a bit silly, Walk into just about any school and you will see numerous flash harry computers. If someone was to break in and do some stealing they can just go to their local. True but will they be NEW? |
