I am really really looking forward to working with garage band. I have always wanted to try myself at music production. Garageband is the real reason I want to get my hands on a mac no matter what program I use on my PC nothing seems to really work to record guitar on or is it is almost impossible to use. My experiences with a Mac show a reasonable learning curve and most programs seem to be very user friendly and very simple to use and I am really looking forward to seeing if garageband can meet these expectations.
