Is iLife '04 shipping with all new macs?

[AlbinoPigeon]

I want to buy a new iBook in the next few days and I was wondering if it would come with iLife '04.

On the tech specs for all their models it says either iTunes, iMovie, and iPhoto...or those 3 AND iDVD (if it comes with a superdrive). But nothing about Garageband or the words "iLife '04."

So...has anyone recently recieved their mac computer order and did it come with iLife '04?

It may be just me, but I thought SJ said it would come with all new macs.

I just hate the idea of having to buy it for $19US after the fact when i'm laying down $2000CDN for a new iBook.

I just bought an emac last saturday and the woman on th end of the phone assured me that ilife 04 would ship with the machine.

It didn't... just today i got it, after paying for it seperatly through the up to date program.

So not yet then...

I got it with my PB three weeks ago. It was not installed, but in a separate package that I had to install.

I picked mine up at the Cincinnati Apple Store.
