Wait, are you seriously saying that $5 for iMovie or GarageBand is too much?

Just for reference, here are things that are also $5:
  • a box of popcorn at the movies
  • 1.25 gallons of gas
  • a bag of chips and a jar of dip, if you snag a Memorial Day deal
  • a candle
  • an HD movie rental on iTunes
  • half of a dime bag
  • one quarter of one tank of one color of printer ink
  • a Steven Seagal DVD "classic" from the Walmart value bin
  • and maybe, like, 1% of the cost of a real instrument.
GarageBand for $5 is seriously one of the craziest values in all of software. I think the only thing that comes close is probably Minecraft.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
