What do you guys think of the MacUpdate Spring Bundle promo? :) Is it worth getting?
I've not yet encountered a bundle where i've had a use for even a single one of the apps.
I have seen it recommended highly by college students
Woof, Woof - Dawg

I've not yet encountered a bundle where i've had a use for even a single one of the apps.
Wow! Not a single app in a single bundle that you can use??? Considering the number of bundles and apps released that's pretty surprising. Do you just use your computer for email and basic internet browsing?
As for me, I like this bundle a lot. I would love it if I hadn't already purchased Notebook a couple of months back when they ran a promo...but I digress. I like the usability of this bundle for the average Mac user. That's something that not all bundles have offered. There are a few apps I have been looking to buy not in this bundle, but hey...other bundles remain on the horizon.
Uh.... DVD Remaster is rubbish... It doesn't work... and requires you to Force Eject the CD after FairMount has crashed... :(

Also.. I already had RipIt... so it's back to that for me... Paperless is rubbish... or at least not very good...

I already had Squirrel (And some Paper) for my Accounts..... TechTool... TechTool... Techtool... Now that is quite a good app... But I know that I'll never use it.. I already have NetBarrier... I already have Together so defeating the need for "Circus Ponies"... Parralles is rubbish... and I already have VMWare Fusion...
I liked MultiPlex to start off with... then realised... WTF is the point.. when Plex is free!! And... Plex is great...
Posterino is just a euphemism for saying that your crap at Quark/InDesign...
I want my money back... email sent to Mac Update...
They say try before you buy.. but.. well.. I should be a lot more inquisitive next time...
:*(
The whole thing for $50?!? WTF-Parallels ALONE is worth that :)
Got mine already!:D
So... I bought it... mainly for Paperless and MultiPlex... but I did it, without trying it... BIG MISTAKE... :mad:
Uh.... In my opinion DVD Remaster is rubbish... It doesn't work... and requires you to Force Eject the CD after FairMount has crashed... :(
This ...

is warrant less.
To each is own. Typically these bundles are only good for a few apps, you as a consumer/buyer must inform yourself and weigh the benefit of each app. If you own 90% of the apps or suitable replacements then buying this app is silly unless the one app you want (Parallels) is $80 and the bundle is $50 making it a good buy all the same. You can resell the other licenses if you wish whereby you will recoup much of your $50 and still have the one app you sought.
