Swift Publisher is a cousin of the awesome Art Text 2 which we reviewed back in September. This is a great deal but only lasts for one day so if you’re thinking of buying hurry on over to MacZot and download the demo.

Give Good Food To Your Mac is back and this years software line up is impressive. Over 65 apps are available during the promotional period. Four of our all time favorite apps are included in the promo: BannerZest Pro, Yummy Soup, Together and RapidWeaver (of course). Here's how Give Good Food To Your Mac works: buy any three of the 65+ apps and receive 30% off your total order, buy any 4 apps and receive 40% off, buy 5 or more apps and receive 50% off. Do the math and that's a heck of a deal. You'd normally pay $316 for our 4 favorite apps and Pulp Motion (we own it but just haven't had a chance to play with it much). If you buy them from Give Good Food To Your Mac you only pay $158! Sound too good to be true? Well it's not but you do have to act fast. As of the writing of this post you only have 5 days, 19 hours, 20 minutes and 27 seconds to make your purchase.

Here's a sampling of some of the other apps offered in this deal:

Toon Boom Studio
Tangerine
Relationship
Pear Note
Nutritionist
Hydra 1.6 + Aperture Plug-in
Comic Boom
Bee Docs' Timeline
Many, many more!

Walk don't run (virtually) over to the Give Good Food To Your Mac page and order up some goodies for your Mac. You won't find better prices anywhere.

We here at AYAAW love BeLight software. In fact, it is our opinion that BeLight is one of the premier Mac development houses in operation today. BeLight software titles are powerful and immenently useful. Check out our Art Text 2 review for a more in-depth look at one of BeLight's best apps. Ok, enough blathering and just get to the point!

Today, MacZot is featuring BeLight's Mail Factory and it's on sale through midnight for $19.95. That's half off for an extremely cool app that makes printing envelops, labels and postcards a breeze. Not only that but with Mail Factory this mundane task is actually kind of fun. With Mail Factory you can print just one envelope or set up a list for batch printing; paste included mail related clipart onto the envelope; choose to print to any of about a bazillion different labels (Avery, DYMO, Xerox and many other label manufacturers that I've never heard of); the list goes on.

If you do any amount of mailing (for your home based business, club, etc.) you really need to download and try out the demo. Like every other BeLight title Mail Factory is a fantastic app.

As of this posting, you only have just over 7 hours to snag this deal, so what are you waiting for? Get over there and do it.

Good news everyone: the fine folks over at MacUpdate have extended the Back To School Bundle promotion until Friday at midnight (EDT). I'm not sure if I'm going to buy the bundle as there is really one one I app that I need/want: Lightzone. I downloaded and played with the demo and it's a pretty amazing app. Bookends and Contactizer Pro could also probably be put to use here at AYAAW but I wouldn't buy the bundle for those two. Considering that those three apps alone would normally sell for over $250, the bundle is a very good deal.

All application licenses are full and offer the normal upgrade path so you're not getting some stripped down, crippled trial app.

MacUpdate also runs daily promotions where you can usually get up to 40% off on quality Mac software. Check them out at Today's MacUpdate Promo, 40% off
