Any Mac users buying the MacHeist bundle?

I'm contemplating buying the MacHeist bundle. I don't need any of the apps, haven't heard of and probably wouldn't use most of them, but I like the idea of the whole thing.

Besides, who can pass up a bargain like that?

Plus, it's a way to thumb my nose at the idiot critics who are screaming that purchasers are "taking advantage" and "ripping off" the independent developers who voluntarily offered their programs for inclusion in the bundle!

Edit: Okay, I talked myself into it. $39 for WireTap Studio, Kinemac, and one or two others I might use, is a great deal.

meh ... none of them are worth it ... plus they honestly arent all that great.  i passed this time around.  a friend at work bought them though so im sure ill get free copies lol

This bundle doesn't do anything for me. I missed a previous bundle that I really wanted, so I'm keeping my eyes open, but this one is not for me.

I won't use either of the games, I don't do eBay (so no iSale), don't have an iPhone or Touch (Phone View), probably won't spend the time to learn Kinemac (then again, I might, so it's a great bargain).

I'll have to evaluate the image editors. They seem a little simplistic, but also easier to use than iPhoto, with functions it doesn't have. I'll definitely use WireTap Studio, and even if I don't use anything else it's worth the $39.

If they reach the sales goal, the BoinxTV bonus looks very interesting.

What? No Sous Chef Kevin? Remote and voice control cookbook from the kitchen!

Yeah, I'll try the Sous Chef. I'm not much for cooking by recipes (I "cook by ear"), but if nothing else, it should be handy for generating shopping lists. I won't be messing with the voice stuff, though.

I don't dual boot. I don't have any need or desire for Windows, and while I like Ubuntu (and other *nix), and would use it if I didn't have a running Mac, I don't have a particular need for any other OS right now.

The only thing I still need to get working on this Hack is audio-in. That, and I want to add a Firewire card and get it working, for video editing.

Wow, cool! They just added Delicious Library 2 and some game, both for free!

You do have to tweet their announcement. No big deal; I joined Twitter just to do this, so I didn't spam anyone.
