[Leica] Ten kinds of CS3 Suite at the Apple Store.

Mark you can compare the suite version components here:

Then you have to negotiate the quagmire which is upgrade eligibility 
dependant on which product/s you currently own. Very big price
differences.
For me just using a couple of the components it still made sense to get the 
premium suite when I went to CS2.
Be a vewy carefwul wabbit when you upgrade. I trialed the suite (and I think 
Photoshop CS3 is great!) and it trashed my Bridge
functions on removal resulting in a complete reinstall of CS2 suite which 
was itself an upgrade, not a pretty circumstance. (yes I
did a lot of troubleshooting and research before having to phone support).
Good luck and let us know what you settle on.

Cheers
Hoppy

There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and
those who don't.
The ones who can can tell me which which of the ten flavors of Adobe's CS3
SUITE to get. At the APPLE STORE they are all TEN on the shelf.
Waiting to be plucked off for 5 6 hundred bucks or more.
I'm in the 5 6 hundred buck zone I'm pretty sure after some financial
wrangling. I'm ready to pounce.

I think the one which looked good when I was there last week he was showing
me was the "DELUXE" with almonds hold the marshmallow sauce.

I had thought it was the Web one and I almost ordered it from Adobe.

I'd have been in deep trouble. It doesn't have In-Design. The program which
replaced Pagemaker in my desktop publishing world. Which I've been in since
my first Mac in 1985 followed by the 360 laser printer and I made sure I had
a hard disk not just two floppies so I could run Pagemaker. Which saved the
Mac so the story goes. Desktop publishing.

Go Live is out.
Dream weaver is in. Adobe now owns what everybody was using to build their
web sites and has that in the suite for sweet phoebe now.
A good excuse to redo my website though I'm sure it would all import in.

Someone's going to do an article on me I'm the only one in recorded recent
history to build a website using GO-LIVE.
Which WENT-DEAD.
For all practical purposes. If you try buying it they take your pulse and
ply you with smelling salts.. Hook you to electrodes and try jump starting
you.

I know many of us were CS2 SUITE guys and now are cs3.
You know the sound of two hands clapping what is the sound of one!????


in a quandary.
