From: Steve Crisp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: MGI is now Free! Many of you have wanted to use MGI, but were reluctant to purchase MGI 2 since OS 9 and WebStar 4.x are essentially dead products. Not only do we understand that logic, we agree with it completely. As such, we are doing two things about it. One: We are committed to porting MGI to run under OS X/WebStar V and OS X/Apache. The WebStar V port is in progress, and the Apache port will follow on the heels of WebStar. But... We also recognize that there are many people who, for a very long time, will also continue to use OS 9/WebStar 4.x for whatever reasons they have. And we understand those reasons. As such... Two: We want as many people as possible using MGI on the systems they are presently accustomed to. We, therefore, are giving away MGI 2. Yes, you read that correctly. We are giving it away. All you have to do is download MGI 2 for Macintosh at <http://www.pageplanetsoftware.com/downloads/macdemo.html> and install the fully-functioning serial number included in this email. You may run MGI on as many machines as you wish and you may allow as many clients to use every single function of MGI that they want. (The license key is for five machines on one LAN, but if you need another one for five more, all you need to do is ask for it.) By doing this, we hope that you and your clients will so much like the ease and power of MGI that when the ports are done, you will purchase the new version of MGI running on OS X. There are no catches here. The version of MGI you download and install now on OS 9 will not time out, be crippled, or self-destruct when the port is done. Indeed, even if you do not want to purchase the MGI port, you may continue to use as many copies of MGI running on OS 9 as you wish for as long as you choose to do so. Any code you develop running MGI under OS 9 will be fully portable over to MGI running under OS X, so you need not worry about having to do massive recodes if you ever want to switch. All we ask is that you try it out. The serial number for the free copy of MGI is: Serial Number: MGI2-?WSB2W#E-An4VvXV8-dRArjgS$ Authorization Number: DD2&py*K-XyWaHX-Tyc*8K8w Knock yourself out and feel free to join our talklist for support issues at <http://www.pageplanetsoftware.com/mgilists.html> You will want to register for the MGI2 talklist. And if you REALLY like MGI, you can always send us what you want to as a token of appreciation, but it is not required. :) __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to MacDev-1, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].
