IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a Janeite geek in possession of a few dollars must be in want of a new toy.

Is that consumption, or did I LAUGH up bits of my lung?

Yeah... Do you have any friends with computer 'skills'? They usually know where to get the stuff.

Heh heh. My uncle's got all kinds of stuff like that, but I don't know about Photoshop. I'll ask him.

There's also the "lite" version, which costs a third of the full version. And according to a friend of mine who has it, it can do most of the same stuff.

Yeah, they usually can. That happens when Bill Gates realises that he can't sell the ridiculously expensive version to everybody, so makes a cheaper version to sell more copies. The difference is usually minor, just missing some specifiacally professional extras.

Heh heh. So maybe Bill Gates really has some sense after all. Wow. I marvel.

Actually, it may be a third of the price, but it still costs about $200. And I think that's U.S. So maybe almost $400 here. Oy...

Yep. I'm hoping my friend can get me a cheap pirate copy next time I see him. Though admittedly, my own 'skills' are not much. I have just enough expertise in Photoshop to recognise the superiority of others.
