I'm not a hackintosh fan but for those of you that must Mac and have hard drive space, this is a decent deal. I've seen these bundles come up every now and then so I'll post the next bundle when I see it. Happy Mac-ing

"I've purchased these deals in the past and have been very happy with the value.

I wish I had seen this a few weeks ago, before I paid full price for TechTool Pro 5! I could have gotten it + Parallels et. al. for half of what I paid!

Thanks for sharing. In for 1.

Just a word of warning, Parallels 4.x requires the VT instruction set which the (atom?) processor in ours minis doesn't have. Parallels 3.x wants you to use them but is willing to run without them (so it will run on the mini). I believe the company is willing to give you a 3.x license if you have the 4.x license but don't take my word, contact them if this is important to you. Since I got last years' bundle I have a 3.x license which I use on my mini and now a 4.x one to use on my Dell D830 hackintosh, life is good.

Thanks for that tip! I had not yet installed parallels and glad I didn't. I'll have to try to contact them and see if they'll swap the license.
