Cool OS X Bundle Software Package at MacUpdate

The popular Mac shareware site, MacUpdate is sponsoring a special bundle deal this week only. They're offering up to 10 popular software licenses for $49 and it's not one of those crap bundles. About half of these are titles that I would want, or would at least want to try out.

The offer starts with following seven titles

• SRS iWOW (iTunes Bass Enhancer)
• GarageSale (makes cool sale pages for eBay etc.)
• Cocktail (system optimization tools)
• Profcast (podcasting tool to distribute presentations/lectures as podcasts)
• Amadeus Pro (Multi-track sound recorder/editor)
• Fetch (FTP)
• Graphic Converter

Once sales reaches certain milestones at 2500, 4000, and 9999 bundles sold, the following packages are also thrown in:

• 2500 - Little Snitch (Monitors apps trying to phone home)
• 4000 - Intaglio (Drawing and illustration program modeled after the classic MacPaint, but much more powerful)
• 9999 - TechToolPro (System hardware troubleshooter)

From what I can tell from the feedback left on the MacUpdate forums, the copies that you get are fully functional copies of the current software versions. You will have to pay extra if/when it's time to upgrade any of these packages (so the developers of the packages don't get totally screwed by this deal).

I'm modestly interested in the first eight applications, but I'm waiting for the sales bar to come close to 4000. If it gets there, I'm going in. I'd like to have a lightweight drawing program that has some useful features. I have Illustrator already, but I'm a klutz with Illustrator and it's way overboard for most of my drawing needs.

Here's the deal page. The offer ends this Sunday, July 15th.
