  • Corel Digital Studio 2010

    A majority of home users will appreciate Corel Digital Studio's feature set, its interactive projects, and wide support for photo and video formats.

  • Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

    Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.

  • ViewSonic Pro8100

    The ViewSonic Pro8100 is an excellent 1080p projector, which features a Silicon Optix HQV video processor and support for 24p.

  • Adobe Media Player 1.0

    Adobe's Media Player is an excellent application that is beautifully designed and easy to use. Shame about the currently available content.
