As you use Apple’s iLife programs ( GarageBand, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD ), you begin to suspect that you can do anything. The programs’ simple interfaces and tight integration let you ignore pesky concerns about talent, so you can set your inner director, photographer, or DJ free. And with the release of iLife ’04, you can also get in touch with your inner musician — thanks to a music-recording studio called GarageBand. See how Macworld feels the iLife Suite stacks up and whether the suite is worth the $49 price tag. Also see why Macworld gave the 20-inch iMac a 4 out of 5 mouse rating in this recent review.
