Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had a 2006 iMac running Tiger OS and iLife HD. I never really had the desire to upgrade my OS until I changed jobs and the company that I work for now is using Leopard. Time Machine is such a wonderful feature, and best of all, I was able to use it with my external USB drive. No additional drives to buy. Not only that, but after seeing the new features of iLife09, especially iWeb and iMovie, I knew I wanted that software package too. I was amazed to see that you could buy all three bundled for over 40% off the cost of all three! It's just like I bought an all new iMac for a fraction of the price! Sounds like a infomercial, but it's true. Installation was simple, and I'm loving the OS and new software. Truly a great deal for us with a computer a few years old, and wanting to breath new life into it.
