ACDSee Photo Software on offer until 23d May
tomos:
Well I finally got around to installing it (not much else yet -- but it is nice and quick to view files :up:).
Writing to report that
1) it is now on offer for ~55$US (I paid 60$US -- I dont think they charged me VAT/Sales Tax, it's not listed at any rate)
2) FWIW it installed a couple of auto-startup programmes
* ACDSeeCommanderPro11.exe (dont yet know what this does)
* acdidintouch2.exe (acdIDInTouch2.exe -- may be to do with registration?)and a service
* bonjour service\mDSNResponder.exe (dont yet know what this does -- bonjour service was originally from Apple I think, or maybe just also installed by them)

I'm beginning to wonder if this is a perma-sale... nobody ever pays the "full" price?

I don't know what ACDSee is using it for, but bonjour is a service discovery protocol that lets programs find services in a peer-to-peer setup on networks. I'd guess that ACDSee uses it for some sort of media sharing on the local network. Something like DLNA.

I think this is repeating myself, but, speaking as an ex-ACDSee user, I can't understand why anybody would want or need to consider paying anything for ACDSee when one can install something far better, in the shape of Picasa (Sunset Version) for $FREE.

they're probably finished their sales now for a while:
they are releasing a new version end of September which has "Face Detection & Facial Recognition" **

** Sort of like, eh, Picasa :-)
