do you recommend updating the iLife programs (especially iMovie and iDVD)? I just got my mac in 04, would the new programs be worth it? If I mostly use iMovie and iDVD, should I buy the whole iLife package or individual updates? Sorry, I know that's multiple questions.

Well I haven't played with the new versions yet... going by past revisions, the new ones are always worth having <G>

I tend to buy the whole package.. there may be an upgrade price but I haven't looked yet
