I have iWork, and would probably uses Pages a lot if I were in an academic class that required resentations. aside from that, I have yet to find a use for Pages, and haven;t really tried to see if its as good as Word for word processing. iLife, especially iDVD is really nice to easily make DVD's from my pr0n collection; never had it as easy on Windows.

During the downtime of q3w we had an alternative mac forum here: http://forum.infinite-void.org

I told the guys to come back since this place will be more crowded.

I didnt even know you guys had set up that forum. I was hanging out at raw's "raw-one" forum.

iDVD? I just use Toast and make a ISO CD disk with the movies on it in natural format - no conversion.

I got a €99 Toshiba DVD player that can do DivX and such (some French Toshiba but with multi-languages and PAL/SCART). It's not as good as my old Toshiba in construction but the s/w is better and I could dezone it with a few key presses for the one DVD I bought in the US.

I tried Pages and it's not bad for a version 1.0 but I dislike the toolbar. I'd expect Apple to spend a lot more time on it in the next few years and also create a spreadsheet and replace FileMaker with something that is more modern, probably using MySQL as a backend so "it still works with Windows".

I have to use FileMaker at work for bug tracking and it's pretty naff compared to modern apps. Dunno why they don't use BugZilla but it's probably a "not invented here" thing.
