Not that is dying necessary, but I do notice no ComicLife on my iMac. What gives?

    They change their bundled programs sometimes.

    Comic Life seemed to me like it would be used very little. I deleted the Big Bang board games as soon as I got my computer too. I wish Apple would include some apps that people actually need in every day life such as a basic image editing program that handles size adjustment and painting. I know Preview has some extra features in leopard like changing image size but it's still not a mini Photoshop.

    I've messed with Comic Book a few times, but never really did anything with it. It is on both my MacBooks so when I get my new iMac, I will be able to live. My old iMac included an encyclopedia from world book and Quicken that I miss on the newer computers.

    Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Apple includes GraphicConverter on many of its computers, certainly the ones that I have purchased.

    Yeah, that would be fine, I've never had that included with any of the Macs I've bought though.



    I wish they would give you a choice as to what software you want bundled. Just have a panel full of checkboxes and have an option saying choose 4 packages or so from the selection.

    Hmmm... When I installed leopard, it seems to have deleted comic life for some reason. And now that it has been so long, the sendspace link is gone. So someone that downloaded it from there, would you please re-upload it for me?

    I love Comic Life. I do some youth work and when we hold events, we have the tendency to take a lot of photos so for the evaluation, I tend to make a comic instead of opening Word and writing a boring blow-by-blow account of what happened. Goes down much better than a standard written report.

    Yeah, I used Comic Life the first day I got my computer and not once afterwards.

    Comic Life was never really good. Well. no, I'm lying. It was alright when it first came out and it was a brilliant idea...but then the developer sat on it for two years. Very little improvements to it outside a few bug fixes which never fixed some larger problems with the app. Also, some UI design choices that made very little sense.
