If you are planning to upgrade from Director 6.0, save your money for a little while. Aftershock is really nice, but it is a luxury. The custom cursor maker is one of those Xtras that could have been acquired before they released Director 6.5. I gave Macromedia's Director Multimedia Suite 4 Geekheads for Quality, simply because I feel that it is a well written and useful product. Geekness is a clear 5 Geekheads.
Director is just plain cool.
The customizable features are everywhere, and it combines the relative ease of use of a graphics design program with the ability to write code and create games.
