Don't know if you are aware, but if you are a student in Higher Ed - ie university you can go to athens.ac.uk - log in with your athens username and buy Studio 8 - Dreamweaver 8, Flash 8 plus a load of other Macromedia software for £60 approx (full retail price £700).

so if you fancy yourself as a web designer or developer this is a heck of a deal (unless of course you have mate who has a copy *ahem* that you could *ahem* borrow.

people tend to trust people they have interacted with, and if someone posts something on ummah.com, and if no one comments, people will tend to trust them

i dont want anyone doing whatever it is you were doing without the mods making a comment of "proceed at your own risk"

i dont know if what you are saying is true or not, nor do i really care, i just want to make sure anyone reading this thread will understand that they will believe in what you say, at their own risk

Well, for starters, that would be illegal

I'm not trying to flog it or anything, I work at a uni and intend to buy this suite myself once I have finished with the trial version. The post was for information only.

As for it being a cut down version - I don't think it is. There's no mention of it being Studio8 lite or anything like that. its a bargain, but I fully realize that 60/70 quid is alot for a student to pay!
Definitely download the free trial version from Macromedia, probably most people will do that and keep re-installing, but if you are seriously into web design or flash development that could quickly become a real pain.

Bah id rather use an illegal copy instead of spending £70 on software that I would only be using for uni work
