Here, let me help...

Not necessarily Howard.

I was going to buy CS sometime this year or next because I have the time and opportunity now to learn it properly. Will not do so now because a) I will NOT rent s/w and...

LOL :-) and..... Don't miss next week's issue! Featuring: "Remembering Adobe: Lost in the Cloud" "Nikon or Canon: Which really is better? Comparison of all models." "Sony: Sure they make nice TV's,...

"i still don't know how this works. Is the software installed on your machine and the licence checked once a month?

I would have to be able to choose all of the first three to as they are equal highest importance. Did not choose at this time.

Where's Anonymous when we need them? :-(
