All That Software!

This area is for games. Designed for smaller people, but big people like games too.

I've never seen that much Mac software in one place.

A very well stocked selection, including QuicKeys X from CE Software. (I wrote the original version of QuicKeys.)

And Spymac was there

That's Prairie Group's Calendar Maker, which I did the original version and the latest update.

The guy in the background is an old friend of mine, who is one of the store's Mac Geniuses. What a job!

There I was, with my Spymac shirt and utility belt. What a day!
