In brief: OWC has dropped prices on its Mac Pro memory upgrades and Fastforward on its software offerings, while MacForce has created a Portland Mac Creative User Group, OmniPilot preps for its Lasso Summit in early March, and one developer touts Flow, his new file transfer client.... OWC on Wednesday announced new lower pricing on Apple-qualified memory upgrades for Apple's Mac Pro Quad Xeon computers; priced as low as $166 per gigabyte, the upgrades are available at a savings of 50 percent or more as compared to factory-installed and other competitors, OWC claims. The OWC DIMM (FB-DIMM) 667MHz DDR2 72-Bit ECC fully-buffered memory modules are available in matched sets of 512MB (2x512MB for $200), 1GB (2x1GB for $340), and 2GB (2x2GB for $700) modules for up to 16GB of total memory. A cash-back rebate of up to $250 per set is also available from OWC for the trade-in of Apple factory memory. The company also offers hard drive upgrades for Mac Pro, with 500GB drives available for as low as $140.
In addition, Fastforward has dropped the prices on Nuclear Nova's Ultimate Game Pack, and Koingo's Mac Cleanse privacy software. The former is now $35, while the latter is selling for $15.

OWC memory drops...
Hey, OWC has dropped their memory again. I swear, they'd lose their heads if they weren't screwed on! Would someone go and pick it up for them. Maybe if you could velcro it to the inside of their coats, they won't let it fall again.
