Flux is a web site design application that looks and behaves as you would expect from a Leopard application. It makes excellent use of all the interface gimmicks Mac OS X allows for. Under the hood, Flux 1 was powerful, but no more so than for example Dreamweaver CS3. Version 2 adds a good deal more raw power to the program.

With the Contribute Server, the workgroups can grow bigger.

When the recession struck, many of you did what I did: postpone the buying decision for a new Mac as long as you can. To some of you that meant being stuck with a Mac that really should urgently be replaced. -- because the CPU is too slow for today's software, the GPU isn't up to the job, or the I/O is too slow for anything else but backing up. Still, with a bit of inventiveness an old Mac comes a long way. Here is a list of the least demanding applications you can still comfortably run on a Leopard equipped Power Mac with dual 1.8 GHz processors inside.

The most important difference between Storyboard and Storyboard Pro must be the capability to create animatics. These have effects on the end-user level, but also on a managerial level, because they make selling a creative project easier and more effective.

Yet, even when shooting a corporate video with some live action, you most probably can't do without a scripting application. Of course you can use MS Word or Apple Pages, but Final Draft is specifically tailored for writing scripts.
