Well, maybe - in any case, they’re cheaper than the normal $30. BLOGZOT 2.0 on MacZOT.com has SubEthaEdit from CodingMonkeys up as their subject for today. The price basically keeps dropping by a nickel each time someone blogs about it (like this!) or until 3000 copies are sold. If it gets to be free, so much the better! All the bloggers get theirs at no cost. Boo-ya. This amounts to MacZot and the Coding Monkeys giving away $105,000 in free software.

If you’re not familiar with SubEthaEdit you’re really missing out. It’s got the best collaborative writing system in existence, as well as being just a plain nice editor. If you’ve never taken conference notes with five other people doing the same in the same document, you haven’t lived.

Check it out and get yours for cheap.

I’ve now fully converted to running everything on my new MacBook Pro. A few points:

1. Rosetta RULES: I can’t believe how seamless and fast it is. I can run Quake 3 (ok, not the most recent thing, but still!) full screen with all options turned on, and I can’t tell the difference from my 1.67 G4 PB. I want to run some FPS benchmarks to see what kind of penalty I’m getting.

2. World of Warcraft: 80 FPS with most graphics options turned on. Enough said.

3. You need 2GB of RAM. Period. Don’t even think of running without it.

More in the coming days.
