August Sale: 35% off Magic Launch

One thing you realize when you’re selling your own product is that it doesn’t provide a very stable income: one day you can make 20 sales and the next day zero, for no apparent reason. Even the monthly average varies significantly from month to month. But during the summer, sales have slowed significantly. So I’ve been thinking about doing something to help it.

Using two versions of the same application

Many people asked me if it was possible to use Magic Launch to open certain files in a different version of the same application. For instance: open certain files with Word 2004 even if Word 2008 is installed. With Magic Launch 1.4, it’s quite easy.

Public Debt

This is a a fictional dialogue where two people are arguing about why do governments borrow money. I’ve been running it in my head lately and it got suck at an unpleasant conclusion. Perhaps some of you can make the discussion go little further. Update: The initial version of this dialogue was missing a few replies in the middle due to a copy-paste error, I’ve fixed that.
