Calling all Mac users! Unite for a good cause…

MacHeist bundle

Ok - first, let’s make it clear that this is F. typing, not Shaymaa. Shaymaa doesn’t like Macs and refused to post this. So I will. Don’t worry, this is all legal and halal....

Now - fellow Mac users, most of you must know MacHeist. If you don’t, then please note that if you are serious about your Mac oriented life, then this is something you will not want to miss out on. Here’s a quick intro to MacHeist:

MacHeist is a website that resells Mac OS X shareware. The site has become known for its marketing tactics. These tactics include challenges (or “heists") that entitle successful customers to free software licenses and/or discounts, as well as the concept of selling software in a bundle that increases in size as more customers purchase the bundle. The site was founded by John Casasanta, Phillip Ryu, and Scott Meinzer.* from Wikipedia.

Their new bundle is now available - actually, it was available for the past two weeks, but Kuwait University does not acknowledge important Mac dates (they don’t even give us a Ramadan holiday, so.. their ignorance is well expected) - so I only just got a chance to buy it - and this is where you friendly, cooperative, Mac users of the Middle East come in: if you buy the bundle using my referral link, I get TWO free apps.

I’m a starving student.
My money goes on books and book cases to put those books in. Seriously. I’m IKEA’s no. 1 customer when it comes to those white bookcases with glass doors.

So, buy the MacHeist bundle. You won’t regret it, because this year it’s loaded with amazing applications at only $50. And while you buy it, use my link (referral) to help me get more apps. Share the joy.

One more thing - I’m not the only one who benefits here - like always, MacHeists donates 25% of your purchase to a charity of organization, and more information can be found about that on their website.

Take the time to look into the bundle but keep in mind that the last day to buy it is the 23rd of January.

And thanks for letting me post this Shay! I’ll get my site set up soon - inshallah - so that you won’t have to do this again.

Thanks for commenting. I’ll keep your suggestion in mind if I don’t get any buyers. :D

There are few Mac users in this desert… too few.

I never said I “hate” Macs! I just think they are overrated. I use it everyday, you know that, but I wouldn’t wear the Apple sticker and ask for a holiday to watch the keynotes! lol wink You know, how you and Gemmie become during that time?

No comment on your second point though…

@Oranjina: Yes, they are that good. MacHeist have really outdone themselves with this years bundle. They’ve selected really great applications.

One you make your purchase online, you can download and use your registration info right away.

Why is the referral link redirecting me to the actual website. Is it supposed to do that? It doesn’t say ont he “Buy” page that I got there through a referral, if that is how it works let me know. 21 hours left. I’ll be waiting for your reply smile

F. |  Wed Jan 23, 2008 at 01.36 pm

... I think that is how it works, according to a post in the forum (http://www.macheist.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6820)

Yeah, it’s Gaara from Naruto. He’s cool.

Yeah! I really like Gaara, I was shocked to know that Kanji actually says “Ai” (Love)!

You’re most welcome! smile

It took me by surprise too!
Especially since Gaara’s not exactly a… ‘lovable’ person - at least not at first… but the saying “Love conquers all” comes to mind every time I see him. First it was love for himself, then love for his village.

Ah well, he’s one well written character.
