Running is always so tempting!
By Grant Kay | November 30, 2011

Some advertisement work rounds out their portfolio, like a recent series of commercials for Rosetta Stone.When the time came to select a finishing suite, Adam and Thuy decided they wanted the least amount of IT problems as possible and opted for the Mac platform to build their business. They had seen Smoke on the Mac and decided to investigate.
