So, after my crying and bullshit I did end up “getting” a copy of iLife 06. I still think the Apple Store should honor educational discounts, but at the end of the day, Apple did come through. I just saw some amazing things with the new podcasting capabilities in GarageBand … it is going to be a good solution. The whole iChat integration is sick … get on iChat with a couple people and watch what happens … all I can say is that it is flat out cool. Alright, more later … I’ll put it all through the paces tomorrow on the plane, but all in all it is a major upgrade — even if its just the GarageBand podcasting stuff you are looking at. The other apps are also very nicely done. Sorry for the bark earlier!
That’s reassuring and good to hear! I can’t wait to get my hands on iLife 06; the Podcasting feature looks awesome, it’ll be fun to play with iWeb, and iPhoto speed improvements will be welcomed.
I did a sample podcast and really hammed it up, using some stingers and effects. While I’m not a huge fan of using GarageBand as a studio tool, I have to say, they really did include some quality production audio clips.

I think you mean “slick” – not “sick”.
Sick is cooler…
I read “sick” and thought maybe I was too old to get it. “Slick” hits me fine.
