The MacSale Bundle is available until August 18th:

For $49.99 (USD), The Mac Sale presents 10 superb apps:

* REALBasic Personal – A rapid development tool for newcomers to programming and old hands alike.

* Iris – An image manipulation program with a killer UI and superb capability.

* Interarchy – The grandaddy of FTP on the Mac, solid, reliable and embracing new systems such as Amazon S3.

* Flux – “This is like Dreamweaver on steroids.” – downloadsquad.com.

* Scribbles – A fun sketching program with a remarkable and innovative interface.

* TaskPaper – Task Manager which focuses on getting things done and not fiddling with options.

* WriteRoom – The minimalist word processor loved by writers.

* Stuf – Clipboard manager that lets you share items over your network.

* Mariner Calc – Quick and solid spreadsheet which won’t bog down your Mac.

* HoudahSpot – All the features Spotlight should have.

I like the WriteRoom for editing in a clean retro 70s terminal look, and the program Interarchy for my FTP transfers.

I didn’t have any serial number problems with this bundle that I had with the MacBundleBox. I received all of my serial numbers almost immediately and an email with links to the application websites. All of the apps were downloadable as upgradable trials.

MacBundleBox issues resolved

August 17, 2009

Followup to previous post-

The serial number for Stomp was sent to me last night from the developer, who happens to be in New Zealand-and it was Monday there already.

SoftPress repaired my registration for Freeway Express and I was sent two emails Monday morning from the UK, confirming I could download the correct full version of the software.

MacBundleBox 5 and some Caveats

August 16, 2009

I purchased the MacBundleBox (v5) package yesterday and there are some caveats.

1- The download links are not given to you. You have to go to each individual website and download the software. The MacBundleBox website has an archive file with some of the application trials. That archive is missing some of the extras for the applications, so going to each website and getting the apps that way will fix that.

2- Some of the serial numbers are not given in the email- The email just had a word as a serial for iCash that didn’t work. I then had to go to the recover serial number page for iCash and I did get an email for that app.

Stomp has no serial number and no means to get one from the website. I have an email sent to MacBundleBox and will hopefully get a reply.

3- Freeway Express is a trial version only- and cannot be serialized. I tried to register at the SoftPress website and somehow my serial# got attached to version 4 of Freeway. I have an email sent to SoftPress as well and will hopefully gat a reply as to fixing that. Then I will able able to download the full version.

So for $49 and a bit of work you’ll have a nice set of applications and save some money.
