John is right, all the components now have to be purchased in the iLife
package, rather than a download.  I think its a bargain price for what you
get (and a darn sight cheaper than Office that it is compared to in the
advertising!).

BTW, I think Garageband will really shine with a keyboard or guitar
connected to your Mac.  I found the little pop up keyboard a little clumsy
using the mouse :-)

Anyone know when Apple are going to start selling the keyboard they have in
the US?  Or an alternative USB keyboard already here in Australia?
