The Mac Sale ends soon! Here’s a discount…

On these days of fantastic Mac software bundle deals, one of the latest is The Mac Sale. For those of you that have purchased one of these bundles before, you know how it all goes: a bundle with a certain amount of software gets ridiculously discounted to only a fraction of the price that you’d be paying if you were to buy them separately.

The Mac Sale will end soon on August 18th, but it’s not too late to get $450 worth of apps for only $49.99. The 10 apps included are: Flux, Scribbles, Interarchy, Iris, WriteRoom, REALbasic, HoudahSpot, Stuf, TaskPaper, and MarinerCalc.

If interested, they have provided a discount code for MacRecon readers to get 5% off! Just use the code MACRECON on checkout, and you’re good to go. (Disclaimer: I was promised 5% of each sale where that code was used.)
