I had a chance to breeze through the apps being offered in this MacUpdate Promo, and… it’s well worth the price of admission (if only for Leap alone). Will likely grow to love these others even more over time, too:

So, there you go – the latest MacUpdate Promo. As I said before, however… this entire package is worth buying, if only for Leap.

Holy cow! I asked Uniblue to send me discounts to share for Registry Booster, SpeedUpmyPC, and SpyEraser. They responded with a $10 off discount on each title:

You can download trials of all three (Registry Booster, SpeedUpmyPC, SpyEraser). The nice thing about being able to run Windows on Apple hardware now is that you have to protect yourself just like the rest of us. ;)
