If I wouldn’t know better, I’d say it’s bad planning on behalf of the organisers to have these two promotions at the same time…
MacUpdate software bundle:
Parallels Bundle
I’m getting this one. Parallels and DVDRemaster are enough to make it a deal.
MacHeist Bundle:
12 Top Mac Apps

I had installed QS once or twice before, mainly to see what all the hype was but it went the way of many good, but poorly documented applications: into the Trash.

Thanks to new technology, Macintosh gets in [...]
