GarageBand!!

When Apple announced iLife ‘04 a couple of weeks ago, a common reaction was moaning over the price, which went from free to $49. Which is ridiculous…$49 is a steal for that bundle of software. After playing around with GarageBand this morning, I can report that GB alone is worth the price. I’ve never had this much fun with a piece of software before…I got my money’s worth after 30 minutes.

(And I’d like to post the song I made โ€” the finest techno banjo tune (w/80s synth) ever!! โ€” but the vast extent of my musical talent is just too much for the world to experience in such a direct fashion. Alas.)
