I almost tend to think that it's not true BUT considering that they 
already do
something similar with AppleWorks and iDVD then it's very possible. AW
and iDVD are already provided for free with certain new systems but 
upgrades
and new copies must be purchased separately.

I've also recently gotten hooked on iPhoto. It's just too handy.  :-)

Well, for gz, tgz, and zip files I've been using OpenUp, and also Cold 
Compress
for storing some files.  They're not the most polished apps in the 
world but at
least they have some good NeXT heritage.  :-)
