Today we’re joined by Mike Wong of OnOneSoftware, who gives away a copy of the $499 Plug-In Suite 4. I say “$499″ because that’s what they charge for the bundle; if you bought the plug-ins individually, they’d cost over $1000! “Suite?” They should call it “sweeeeet!” Cause it is. (”Sweet” instead of “suite.” Get it? Funny, [...]
