wtf?  pixelmator and vector designer weren't enough?

i get it- with all the macheisters clamoring for lineform or yet another graphics app and not for coda over the past year or so, that would have been a huge bummer.

Very cool.  As I try to pursue a job in television, I find that I need much more experience with vector design apps and web-design apps.  Getting them from MH has helped me out a lot.  Glad to add another that I've seen referenced in some of my job postings.  Thanks guys! smile

It was intended as a gag. FYI: I didn't buy this bundle. Frustated on how pixelmator couldn't replace my good old Paint Shop Pro 8 (windows app), and haven't use VectorDesigner

Thanks a Lot

The real heist is that first mystery bonus app. Man, I was so close to buying the bundle in hopes of it being Coda, but had second thoughts last minute, gut feeling telling me there's no way it'd be an app that'd be a serious bundle seller with their promise of no repeat apps in MH3. So glad I passed up on that.

Great another image app which will never be used. MH should just not bother with bonus apps if they are like the other bundled apps in the past.

I still haven't forked over the money for Photoshop/Illustrator. They are too expensive. When looking at alternatives, Lineform is one of the top mentioned.  I have SwiftPublisher RE, Lineform, VectorDesigner, Inkscape, ArtText LE, Pixel Image Editor, Pixelmator and Gimp.   I've spent less than $200 total to get all of those.  I can pretty much get any graphics work I need, done, using one or more of these.  I didn't have a use for another Parallels license, so I gifted it.  MacPilot sounded interesting, but not worth the value of the bundle alone.  I figured the mystery application was worth it to me and a friend needed Parallels.  I didn't want LineForm, but I'm happy I have it and you can't beat the price. 

Also, I thought I heard mention of another mystery application, a game or something like that.  Be happy all.  So far, on the working of this bundle, MacHeist has done good.

Thanks for the offer. I prefer to only have apps on my machine that are actualy registered in my name. I'm sure you'll be able to find someone to deal with round here though

it's often possible to transfer the license.  email the devs (if it matters/is important enough to take the time)

Whatcha got ain't nothin new. This country's hard on people, you can't stop what's coming, it ain't all waiting on you.

Judging from the whining, I must be the only one here who actually prefers Lineform to VectorDesigner. 

I often want to import/export SVG files; I have never once wanted to create fills from Flickr photos or iSight captures.

At least the app I missed was one I don't really need. I'm happy with CS3 wink. Is there a way to find what number I am? I want to see if I made it into the top 3000 (which I probably didn't...).

Phill, I haven't gotten my Lineform license yet. neutral
Not that I really need it... tongue

I've already got Intaglio, Graphic Converter, VectorDesigner, Pixelmator (all from MH bundles...) and Photoshop CS3...
I'll probably trade Lineform away (if FreeVerse gives me the ok to do it).

Can't say for sure, but I'd guess you are in the top 3000.  John said last night that he figured 3000 would hit (he hoped) by the end of the weekend.  So you should be fine.

New to this so don't know if there has ever been a mystery app before, but...

On the order page, you had to put the Name/Email that the programs should be registered to.  Or, if you already had one of the apps, you could gift one, and put someone else's details in there.  Only as you don't know whether you have the Bonus App or not at this time, it's impossible to make a choice. 

If it turns out you already have, or don't want Lineform, can you gift it before it get's licensed in your name?  Some people claim to have **** as the registered name/email, but I already have my genuine name/email on my receipt (I think I went through the gift page to see what was on it, but left my name in them all).  I haven't got my serial number yet though.

What can be done if I want to gift Lineform?

When was the first 1000 reached?  I purchased right after I got the email about the bundle on the evening of June 26th.  My website receipt did not say what number I was and neither did my receipt.  According to another forum, the limit was reached on June 27th.

What is the deal?

@pintofguiness: If your receipt indicates a secret bonus application, you made it; if not, you didn't.

If you were on time to be in with the first 1000 purchasors, you will have 3 apps on your bundle receipt: parallels, MacPilot and "mystery bonus app".
If your receipt shows only parallels and MacPilot, then you were not in the first 1000, sorry.
