Mine, an early 2008 MBP, came with an iWork trial and a Filemaker
trial. Pretty sure Caz's MacBook (original 1.83Ghz) came with a
Filemaker trial as well, though I can't remember if it also came with
an iWork trial.

They've stopped bunding so much 'trialware' recently. They were bundling
both iWork & Office trials for a while.
