Not sure if it works, but find 4 other Mac users and go in on the Family Pack (5 copies for $200). I don't know if the installers know whether all copies are, in fact, being used in the same household, but I would think it would work.

Of course, to get it totally and completely legit, you're stuck paying the money. You could go to macmall or somewhere like that and probably get it for $99, maybe $89 if you're lucky.
 


Yep... couldn't upgrade without getting Garage Band, too! ;)

As for the Family package... I think you only get one set of disks. That said, Apple isn't like MS with regard to registration... so I think you could easily use the Family Pack with anyone you choose too... The question is... who gets to keep the disks? (Yes, I realize that I can make copies of the disks, but that does seem a bit pirate-like to me)...

Oh well... looks like I'll have to just save my ducats...

Hello, my name is Berandor, and I am a Mac user.

I only have an old i-Book and just stumbled over Mirth's sig. I probably won't read the whole thread, either. So why am I here? To waste time, I guess.

Anyway, I got my i-Book for professional reasons (I wanted to be able to write while not at home), and at first I underestimated the scarcity of Macintosh programs compared to PC programs. But now I'm used to it :)
I also bought an i-Pod, and if I could, I'd shop at i-Tunes (Germany is a no-go). So at least I'm fully converted, now (after having bought an X-Box to game on :))

Well, that's that.

True, but given that 90% of the zillion PC programs out there are crap, the difference isn't nearly that great. ;)

Welcome to the longest Mac thread around!
