Discount Shooping

[peternap]

I had an older version of PhotoShop, ver 6.

Since I was seeking perfection, I decided to get a full blown edition of C3. After checking the retail price (2,500.00), I thought it may be good to look for a USED copy.

I saw an ad on Craigslist, from a gentleman who had a copy for sale and called. He said indeed he did have a copy and had a mobile shop. He would be in the area around the Virginia State library around noon. I agreed on the price of $200.00 and waited until noon.

When he didn't show, I called and was told he would be there within 15 minutes. Now..I'm an old country bumpkin and leery of big city ways, so I stuffed my 45 in the back of my pants and waited on the corner.
After fifteen minutes, a black, 1960's Lincoln Continental, with duct tape on the seat and shifter and no hubcaps...pulled up. It had DC plates. The fellow inside asked if I was waiting for him. I replied that if he had PhotoShop, I was.

He pulled out a DVD with a serial number handwritten on it and held his hand out for the money. I paid him after writing down his license number and explaining I had a 45 and a shovel and No one from DC would miss him if it wouldn't register.

I got home and was amazed that it installed. Then I regestered it with Adobe. Lo and Behold...it accepted it.

Then I felt guilty about making the poor fellow nervous. He was just a small businessman, in a mobile store

That's one way to do your shooping. Glad it worked; now show us a bunch of great pics!

We just have lowly ol' PS Elements 3... Does everything we need, though. At least, I think it does... If I played around with a better program I'd probably find a bunch more stuff I "need"..

I believe I'll stick with my PS edu version 7. My only concern is whether or not it will work under whatever the next OS is, whenever we find ourselves needing a new computer.

FYI, there's no specific serial number for each disc. Rather the serial number has to qualify, that is process through the install process. I run my edu copy on three of our computers with three different serial numbers.
