Make Your Own Mac Mix
The biggest, new Mac shareware event of 2008.

Make Your Own Mac Mix is finally over, and we want to thank all of you for making this event a real success! For two weeks, we sold an outstanding bundle of 28 different applications, and gave you, the customer, the power to configure the bundle to your tastes, adding great discounts to the mix. Throughout these two weeks, we brought many new Mac users into the fold and held great events, including several giveaways.

But at the end of the day, it's not us that you should thank - it's the incredible developers that make the wonderful apps we all use on our Macs. Truly, if credit is to be given, it should be to the devs. Without them, the Mac platform would just be another nondescript OS.

If you happened to have missed out on the bundle during the sale, but would like some of these great apps, you can always show your support by buying directly from the developers' respective websites. They help us by making Mac OS X great, and it's up to us to help them by buying their products. Best wishes and many thanks to everyone who bought or otherwise participated in Make Your Own Mac Mix. It's been a blast!

Meet the idiots behind Make Your Own Mac Mix

Yuan Zhao, whose picture is not shown because witnessing it induces cardiac arrest, grew up using the Mac platform. In his free time, he enjoys fighting space pirates, developing cold fusion technology, and being alive. He loves music, food, and people, especially you *.

Vivek Sudarsan is a recent Mac convert and the other founder of Make Your Own Mac Mix. A disciple of Steve Jobs and heir apparent to Apple, Inc., Vivek's stated intentions are to conquer the world through use of Reality Distortion Fields and deliciously low-priced software.

Rob Kopp was originally recruited to bake cookies, but being a coding genius, he is now an integral part of the team. Notable achievements of Rob's include inventing the computer, preventing Y2K, and developing the iPod, which is erroneously attributed to Apple's Tony Fadell.

* This is not contingent upon your purchase of a Mac Mix.
