I think the only thing I've purchased was some home design thing. I designed the deck on our house before getting the plans approved.

Final Cut Studio, Maxon Cinema 4D 8.5, Macromedia Studio, iWork 05 and 06, iLife 06? (the newest one with iWeb), Adobe Creative Suite... forgetting a few smaller things.

Technically my company paid for them, but I own the company and am also the sole employee, and the work that was done to pay for them was all mine, so on some level I think it counts.

Work covers most of the software I need but I use open source apps for those things they don't cover. Speaking of which can anyone recommend a good open source DVD player?

no, because they take years to make - like photoshop - but don't cost squillions of squids to buy - unlike photoshop

also, i hardly ever play online anyway

Paying $600 for photoshop when you'll use it for personal reasons is insane - altough I guess there are ways to get a cheaper license (like for students etc) but maybe not everyone can be entitled to these (not everyone that wants to use ps for personal use anyway).

Post by **rellort** » Sun Aug 27, 2006 6:01 pm

I personally couldnt give a shit who downloads what app or game, i do it myself. but it makes me laff when cuntstains like seremtan try to justify why a game is worth buying and why apps or operating systems arent. because a game takes longer to make. lol. especially if he doesnt play online much, how long will that game be played for against how much he might make use of photoshop, windows, and whatever else. what a fuckhead

This is why they introduced Photoshop Elements. Then left out layers support, classing it as an advanced feature.

Shame really, pretty much the core of what I use PSP/PS for depends on layering and selections.
