Unfortunately that article has a number of typos, including the name of the bundle. It is "Mac Bundle Box". There have been several Mac Bundle Box promotions over the past couple of years, and I've participated in several of them, plus the recent VoteBundle, also from Christian. I can't talk about sales figures for individual promos, but in my opinion such bundles are very worthwhile. They help bring your apps to the attention of people who may not have heard of them, or who have been thinking about buying but need an extra nudge. I've made many thousands of dollars and sales from such bundles over the years. I know promos aren't suitable for all developers or apps, but they are very helpful for me. If you haven't tried one, I'd recommend having a go at one... and Christian's bundles tend to be among the most successful promotions that I've been involved in. -- David Sinclair, Dejal Systems, LLC - [email protected] Dejal blog - http://www.dejal.com/blog/ Cocoa code - http://www.dejal.com/developer/ Twitter - http://twitter.com/dejal/
