hi, braveheart--if you read the guidelines for these forums, you'll understand that the only answer we can give you is "yes."

Patay. Ayan na... :wound:

Do I have to buy orig DVDs?

Same thing dude.

This topic is precariously close to the subject of piracy, which we are sensitive about and do not allow here.

The short answer is YES, you should.

Anyway, you do get great software for FREE with a new PowerBook: Sa OS X and iLife '05 pa lang, lamang ka na, Then you can justify the cost of Office 2004 or iWork. After that, you're all set.

I'm sorry my friend. You have to purchase the titles individually. Whether or not you are using a Mac or a PC, software costs alot, so just choose the ones you really need. Also when you get your ibook it will come with the iLife 2005 suite for free along with some other titles. The rest you need to get yourself.

Also I know you are a newbie here but when you said yes to the guidlines, you agreed not to discuss software piracy or anything related to that.

This is what it says in the guidelines:
You also agree NOT to write in any posts or in its contents relating to PIRACY of softwares, their website names, links or even ask opinions directly or INdirectly pointing to PIRACY! This Discussion Board will strictly enforce this rule and anyone caught violating this rule will be reprimanded, will be set on probation for a limited time, suspended from posting for a limited time and even banned from this board with or without any warning if you continue to violate these rules after all the warnings that are given.

Ooops. Sorry kinda slow in posting.

Following the guidelines against piracy, shouldn't advertisements for the resale of secondhand Macs pre-installed with MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite or any other programs that did not come with the unit upon purchase be barred as well?

...UNLESS the original installation disks for whatever add-on software is surrendered to the buyer.
