While I was writing this I couldn’t stop thinking that this may be the longest promotion in the history of web. I mean in 3 months we’ll be making 2 years since I’m running this monthly promotion on my blog. I really am. One of the products that I still use on a regular basis is MacJournal, by Mariner.
