But I do understand people wanting to buy an earlier version and upgrade from there. Sounds like a good idea, really, and I can't see any logical reason not to do it if it saves about $400.
OTOH, I get student discounts on software. Which is one of the reasons I keep finding a course to take each semester. =================== I think Mercedes Benz is overpriced, but I'm not about to go out and "borrow" one just because of it. As an aside, an aquaintance of mine (he teashes Photoshop courses) told me that if everyone actually bought legitimate copies of Photoshop, they would be able to cut the price LOTS. Because of the practice of stealing the use of the software, the price is kept artificially high, since they have to make their money off of less than 10% of the people using the software. ========== I wouldn't advocate stealing. But that's interesting. Other companies have had a lower price FIRST and sold more from the beginning. Such as PaintShop Pro. So I am a bit dubious. But, whatever...
