Adobe sells boxes, but with CS6 also offer subscriptions - $29/month for whole suite, plus a bunch of other stuff, plus free upgrades. The $29 was the price offered to me as an owner of CS5 educational - not sure if it would be different for others.

But about a year ago I ponied up $140 for Acrobat X, via an educational reseller, and never could get the damn thing installed because of the "Adobe Paranoia" (trademark pending) in terms of all the often-conflicting security/install hoops one has to jump through. I still have, and use, Acrobat 8 Pro quite happily, but otherwise refuse to pay the price for its products. --tj On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 10:51 AM, Steve Smith <[1][email protected]> wrote: Gil - Hi all SFCC in it's devign wisdome is teaching Adobe CS products. Suficed to say It'd be handy to have at home-for eas of completing classes-and might be handy later. However I am wincing at the 600 Adobe is asking for there latest software sweet ("CS6") Any ideas where to get it a bit less? Short of a bootleg/pirate copy or someone generous who isn't using theirs I think the price is as good as it gets. For the rest of us (non-educational), the price is closer to $3000, depending on details? Wait until you check out the AutoDesk suite! They do offer CS6 in bits and pieces for educational as well, I think... so getting one or two tools is a possible way to save? The good news is that CS6 is a totally professional tool suite and when mastered, you will be prepared to play in the big leagues, unhampered by ad-hoc or limited tools. It's a tough paradox. - Steve ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at [2]http://www.friam.org -- ========================================== J.
