Should GarageBand be on my iBook G4 ?

[Shifty Bloke]

Hi,

I have recently bought an iBook G4 and I was going to get GarageBand, but doesnt iBook G4's come with iLife '04 ?

Or is it only a cut-down version of it ?

Thanks,

Karl.

yer its a full version plus you can buy an addon pack called JamPack (i think) which tripples the number of samples and virtual instruments

Maybe they do now, but I got my G4 iBook in December and had to pay full price for iLife. It could be that your model came out before iLife was shipped. Not sure if you're then entitled to it, but you can check with the place where you bought it.
