Hi all. I'm an independent contractor and consequently I pay for my own software out of pocket. I've been cruising along with FrameMaker 6 for a very long time, as well as an old version of RoboHelp, and I'm now thinking of biting the bullet and buying the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2 (w/ Frame 9, RoboHelp 8, Photoshop CS4, etc). Since the software I already have is quite old I'm not eligible for the "upgrade" pricing, nor am I eligible for the academic version pricing. So I'm looking at $1900 to buy the Suite through the Adobe web site. It'll be tax deductible of course, but still, that's pricey.
Does anyone know of a less expensive place to buy the Suite? Thanks much. Dave Schleicher Portsmouth, NH
