I agree with this point. What is Apple thinking? Is this how they reward us
faithful users? I have discovered Kodak's EasyShare program. No, it's not
just like iPhoto, but it seems to do the job ok. And better, it doesn't
create copies of your photos in its own folder, keeping them where you put
them. Who needs iPhoto? :-) (In contrast to Apple forcing me to pay for
"GarageBand"--pretty lame--and iDVD, neither of which I will ever use...)
