Saved A Lot Of Money Last Night
WOW! I sure saved a lot of money last night. I have been wanting Adobe PhotoShop CS for a long time, but the price is $599. It is the top of the line photo editor that most professionals use. I use PhotoShop all the time, but it is version 4.0. Ver. 4.0 is very old program. Last night I was drooling over the latest version and saw that the upgrade was only $149 with proof of ownership of ANY pervious version of PhotoShop. I jumped on that in a heartbeat.
My PhotoShop was a legal boxed copy so it qualified for the discount. The only problem I had was that during installation it required me to have version 5.5 or newer. I called Adobe and that was not a problem. They just had to walk me through the installation using codes they supplied.
Remember my trip to Fry’s on opening day? I got two PhotoShop books, "FREE WITH REBATE". Each of those books was a $49.99 book.
Another program I use is PhotoShop’s low price competitor, Paint Shop Pro 9. I had Paint Shop 8 and Fry’s had this "FREE WITH REBATE". It was two rebates. $30 off for everyone and the rest off if you already owned a copy. So, I got it FREE. Well, I paid for all these "free" things. Now I just have to wait for the rebate checks to come in.
I LOVE REBATES!
