Bought this bundle a few days ago. It's worth it just for Drive Genius IMO

You think so? I've honestly never used it. It looked interesting...

Yeah I do. If for no other reason to help keep the harddrive running smoothly and trouble free. I use defrag, optimizer and disk scan. The later to map bad sectors so data doesn't get written to it. The file system used by OS X does a good job of not fragmenting the drive but it's not perfect ;) They also provide you with a link to download the bootable DVD image.

So now the question is do I want to buy the whole bundle... MacGourmet (based on Joe's review) looked pretty good, and I already own Rapidweaver...

Decisions, decisions... :confused:

MacPilot is useful and I suppose there is [future] value in having some sort of Antivirus protection

I use WhatSize and have used Little Snitch myself - both good apps.

But if you buy it, do you install all of the apps, or can you pick and choose?

You'll get a download link and registration code for each app. The price is a flat fee so you might as well download all of them.
