GarageBand/ilife Free Trial???

I am currently using ilife 06 for all of my media editing and it works great for me. I would like to
"test drive" ilife 08 before spending $70 (or however much it is) on it. Can someone provide me with a like to as site to download this from. The trial does not have to last very long only a day so I can test it.

Thanks,
Macguy3000
I hear that imovie 08 cannot read 06 files, is that true.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5), Intel 2.33 GHz; 120 HD; 2GB RAM;

What's with having to pay $70 for an upgrade, the same as the people that never bought the program before?

We'll we have to do this every couple of years?

Not acceptable.

Btw, if you go get iLife 08 just for GB, go get Logic Express instead! What an upgrade they did! $200.

sounds like wishful thinking, but hey, call an Apple Store and ask.

Considering what you get for 70 clams, it's one of the best bargains in the history of software. Just pretend that new buyers have to spend $700, and you get the upgrade for $70, and then you'd be fine with it!

(I realize this sounds like shameless fanboyism, but honestly, $70 is more than worth the price. Apple essentially sells new versions for the price of an upgrade, and upgrades for the price of dinner for three).

I guess thats a good way to look at it. As it turns out I did end up buying it and it is totally worth it!
Thanks everyone for you help!
