MacHeist is MacOpportunity

Hey I love a deal! There are a lot of programs that I have paid for only to have them sit on my hard drive unused and forgotten. I never asked for my money back, but sure wish there was a way to try it for awhile. 15 days is seldom enough really understand a program.

MacHeist lets me try programs for a reasonable price. I know, its a deal, but it really is an opportunity to get a program in front of me, a consumer, and let me give it a real test drive.

I don’t expect to get, say Photoshop, in MacHeist. I did get two programs I was going to try. One will make it to my hard drive the other will not. But there are two others that show promise, so I hope to have a new program to try. If I like it, I am likely to be tempted to try the next offering from the developer or Company.

Hey, that’s marketing. Let people try something, if they like it they come back, if they don’t, hopefully, they recognize that the product they tried had value, and there is a positive event for everyone.

It’s really not about competing on price, its making your product known.

I’m just guessing, who is most upset with MacHeist, the big developers or the new or little developers who get a chance to showcase their work?
