MacUpdate Bundle Pack

The guys over at MacUpdate have started selling their new bundle pack for Spring 2009. Normally I wouldn't get too excited over these packages but this one has some very interesting applications included all for $49.99. The special offer only lasts for 2 weeks until June 12th. So for anyone interested in these wonderful apps act quickly.

There are 2 in particular which I will highlight: Parallels Desktop 4 & TechTool Pro 5.

I previously purchased Parallels desktop 3. It is an application that allows you to virtually run your Windows OS within your Mac. I purchased this so I could easily run Windows or Windows applications in case I could not do what I needed on the Mac.

TechTool Pro is a utility application for testing, repair and maintenance. It gives you an overview of your basic computing environment such as CPU, memory load and disk space. Apple includes a version of this application in its AppleCare Protection Plan.

The list of applications in this bundle include the following:

• TechTool Pro 5 (valued at $98.00) - Utility tool to check the health of your RAM, hard drives. Can be used to repair problems and optimize performance
  
• Parallels Desktop 4 (valued at $79.99) - Virtualization tool for running Windows inside of Mac.
• NetBarrier X5 (valued at $49.95) - Firewall for the Mac!
  
• Circus Ponies Notebook 3 (valued at $49.95) - Organization tool for taking notes
• DVDRemaster Pro 5 (valued at $49.99) - Backup DVDs, and conversion to iPod, iPhone and AppleTV
• Multiplex (valued at $35.00) - DVD management and movie playback
  
• RipIt (valued at $18.99) - Extract DVDs to your hard drive
• MoneyWell (valued at $49.99) - Finance management software with direct connect banking and envelope budgeting

For the first 20,000 buyers, they also included 2 bonus applications:

• Jets'n'Guns Gold (valued at $29.95) - Fighter jet shooting game
  
• CuteClips 3 (valued at $15.00) - Clipboard manager
  

Today, they just added a new application for the first 25,000 buyers.

• Voila (valued at $39.95) - Tool allowing you to capture windows on your screen and store, organize and share them.

It keeps getting better and better!
