HALF A GRAND!! I'm learning ILLUSTRATOR using the "guilt method". This has been going on for well over a decade. Vectors are us. I have no clue. Or very little. I'm at one tenth of one percent proficiency with Illustrator. I have to remind myself how to make a rectangle. Bottom 33.33 with Photoshop because although I've used it every day since almost the day it came out; it's a major galaxy and I'm a measly microbe. In Design also 33.33 it's not that complicated of a program. I've done all kinds of things with it. With this upgrade they say you can do more things in InDesign and drag it right over to Photoshop. Which you were supposed to be able to do before. But if you checked it out you found out you were wildly warned against it. Worms. Or it just didn't work. InDesign is a lot less daunting than GoLive. My big threshold now is CSS. That's what my site needs. And they've improved that hugely on this thing from what I saw from a screen shot at the Adobe site. Which as an animation playing which locks up my Safari on my Mac for several minutes every single time I click back to the page and is the only thing anywhere ever that has ever done that. They must have used their new software to put that in. Or "Flash". That's for animations? I'll take "Green Lantern" I'm convinced the mastering of Acrobat is the key to the universe. But now I have last versions book though. Electronic publishing fights for you. Save a branch, save a stump. Distribute pixels greatly.
