**Raven** · 01-09-2008

I'm not going to buy it. I was really disappointed in the bundle this year; most of these apps I either have no use for or know of better, free, alternatives. (Awaken, for starters. What 13$ thing does it do that Aurora doesn't?)
1password still strikes me as pointless, I already paid good money for Photoshop, so Pixelmator's out, I don't need anything that iStopMotion does, and AppZapper has a great free alternative in AppDelete.
The only one I want is CoverSutra 2 - the trial that they released is really slick. I'd just buy that one, too, but the trial only lasts ten days and the option to buy it individually won't come until after this stupid bundle deal ends. (And, of course, installing this trial ate my license to CS1.) A 17$ (I did all the heists and have a 10$ discount) difference to get it early? No thanks.
