[QUOTE="djames42, post: 566420, member: 13241"] It takes ages to load initially as it does some font caching (I think it was at least two minutes on my MBP), but fires up quickly on subsequent launches. [u]Far[/u] more quickly than CS2 for sure! Odd. I don't remember X11 being installed by default on Tiger, but there you go. OpenOffice has been ported as a native cocoa app in the form of NeoOffice. I've used X11 for Gimp and Fink (FinkCommander for downloading pre-compiled open-source X11 binaries). I also use X11 for several utilities at work (like eHealth and various cell site monitoring tools). I keep looking at these bundles, and unfortunately rarely see very much worthwhile. Cha-Ching looks to have a much more pleasing interface than Quicken, but if it can't download transactions, it's not worth much. CoverSutra looks nice, but I already have Synergy (which at €5 is a bargain) that does everything this tool does. However, your point is very valid--for $9 more than the cost of Pixelmator, you get a lot of other apps that may be useful (assuming, as you say, enough bundles are sold that Pixelmator gets unlocked).
