Software Search
I’ve been making a little list of software I plan on buying soon. I figured that if Uncle Steve (Jobs) doesn’t release anything I want (or more importantly can afford, haha) this Tuesday at Macworld 2008 then that leaves the door open for me to concentrate on getting myself some much wanted apps. One of those I plan on buying is iWork 08. It’s priced at £55 on the Apple Store UK but only £44.99 on Play.com. I think I know who I’ll be buying that from!
I am also keeping a very close eye on the MacHeist bundle. 11 apps for just $49 when ordinarily it would cost $368. The great thing about this bundle is 25% of each purchase is donated to charity. I wouldn’t say that I am keen on all the apps, but the one catching my eye is Pixelmator, which by itself would ordinarily cost $59! This app (along with Snapz Pro X) is currently locked until they reach a specific sales goal. When that one does get unlocked then I’ll be reaching into PayPal for $49 
iWork ’08 is a very nice addition to any Mac. I honestly haven’t had a need to open Office 2004 since getting iWork ’08.
Pixelmator is awfully tempting, but I kind of have my eye on Photoshop Elements 6 when that is released. Otherwise I have most of the other apps in the MacHeist bundle already.
Note: If you went and did the missions for MacHeist (or even cheated and got the access codes for each from the MacHeist forums), you can save $10 on the bundle, so it would cost you only $39!
