August 13, 2007 - Several Mac-oriented software developers have banded together to offer a collection of their wares in a back-to-school bundle called MacToSchool. For only $49.95, students, parents and teachers get over $300 worth of the best educational and scholarly programs from now until mid-September.
While most people buying for the new school year remember the standard technology fare: computers, printers, blank CDs/DVs and even iPods, most don't even think about the software needed to make that technology cost-effective. "Most technology is bought in hopes of staying on the right side of the digital divide. We put together the package for students and educators to deepen that divide and be more productive with their computers," said Alfonso Guerra, president of Apokalypse Software Corp., one of the developers participating in the program.
