Reply #1: I'm so excited about mine!! [View All]

I decided on a software program. I had looked at my section of Webmaster and graphics software books and realized that it's been a whole six years since I finished my Webmaster certification. Many of the programs I'm using now are the same ones I used back in '99!

As you well kmow, one has to stay current if one is a Webmaster (I am not exclusively a Webmaster--I am a university professor and also a Webmaster).

So I decided to focus on Photoshop CS2. The last version of Photoshop I purchased was 7.

I couldn't imagine how this software was going to manifest itself because I sure wasn't going to spend the many hundreds they want for it.

The very next day my husband arrived home from Switzerland, where he has been on a business trip for 10 days. After walking in the door of the house, he took two boxes from the many he'd brought back and said, "I have a surprise for you."

The surprise was a new computer and it came completely loaded with all sorts of software. One of the programs was...Photoshop CS2!

The new computer and software was a gift from his friend in Switzerland. So of course, because our computers are networked, I will be able to use the new programs. His friend purchased all the software, put it on the computer, and provided us with the installation disks, too.

The day before, I was wondering how on earth this program would come my way. I couldn't imagine how. And the very next day, this!

On our other thread, I made some remarks about how not only does the manifested item appear, it comes with some topspin. Here it was the computer and new flatscreen monitor BUT there were also about a dozen other programs designed for digital photography. In addition, the computer was spec'ed out with graphic design and speed in mind. It has, for example, a graphics accelerator card on it.

Needless to say, I'm deleriously happy over this: walking on air!
