News Roundup

In an astonishing turn of events, it seems that Mac news sites and blogs are realizing that the Mac still exists.

I kid, but it really does seem like the Mac gets short changed these days. And word processors are even less talked about than the Mac. But, there is hope. Over the last few weeks, we have spotted three articles that mention our products. Hooray for us!

Besides the Macgasm article previously mentioned on this blog, MacTalk has a great round up of word processors called “You Don’t Need Word: A Word Processing Round-Up”. The article recommends both Nisus Writer Express and Nisus Writer Pro.

In an article on Mac360.com titled “A Tale Of 2 Writing Tools: Strange vs. Normal”, Bambi Brannan writes “If you’re looking for a complete writing tool, an aircraft carrier of features, Nisus Writer Pro carries the flag.”

If you haven’t tried out either Express or Pro, please download the demo versions from the above links and give them a try. As the above articles show, they come highly recommended.

VersionTracker Goes Poof!

And just like that, VersionTracker is gone. It was purchased by CNET a few years ago, and seemed to get less attention as time went on. Now it has been rolled into CNET Downloads.

It’s not that I was a huge fan of VersionTracker, but in its day it was a valuable tool. In its heyday it was the place to find out about updates to your favorite Mac software. You could also read the sometimes hilarious comments and angry rants. It was both fun and infuriating for developers.

If you are not a fan of CNET Downlads, MacUpdate is around to fulfill your Mac updating needs.

But I for one will miss VersionTracker just a bit.

Back To School With Nisus Writer Pro

Since school has started for most, if not all of you, I thought it would be a good time to mention this article from Macgasm.

In her “Macgasm Presents: A Back-to-School Macstravaganza!” article, Susan Piggot mentions Nisus Writer Pro among many cool and essential apps for those of you heading back to school.

There are many reasons to purchase Pro, but one of the best in this case is cost. The academic version of Nisus Writer Pro is only $39. This is the same version of Nisus Writer Pro that us non-academics purchase for $79. The only difference is price.

So, if you are an academic, and you want a word processor for your Mac that won’t break the bank, Nisus Writer Pro is a great choice.

Labor Day Sale

I know that Labor Day is supposed to be a day to celebrate us working folks. But, it also seems to be an excuse to throw a sale. And we here at Nisus are no exception.

From now until September 7th, save twenty percent on most versions of Nisus Writer Pro and Nisus Writer Express. Just go to our store and purchase, no coupons or secret handshakes needed.

So if you ever wanted to purchase Pro or Express and save some money, now is the time.
