Looky what arrived on my desk this morning.


Damn creativity and talent are still on backorder though.

All I've got this morning on my desk was my naked girlfriend...you lucky, lucky man!!

i spilled coffee on my desk this morning, damn shame, I tell you, damn shame

this arrived in my torrents folder a long ago Tofu.

ya gonna love it!! But don't even bother installing After Effects and Encore if you have less than 2 Gb of RAM (like me)

holy shit... I thought it was a myth... I guess not... people do buy software



ok then

Just like you I didn't pay for it either! But mine's legal!

I'm already running into problems. Just read the CS3 readme and it says I need 22GB free for a full install. My work machine only has a 40GB drive. It's already loaded with MS Studio 2005 Pro and some other development tools I need.

I'm thinking that I'll have to just go with Dreamweaver, Flash and Photoshop. Guess I won't be putting After Effects and Encore on this machine at all even though it does have 2GB of RAM.

Sounds to me like a good justification for a new work computer--so you can fully utilize the software they already invested in!

Dreamweaver, Flash and Photoshop are all you need unless you are going into audio and video editing, then you need audition and premeire pro,
premeire pro needs it's own computer

Well, confession, I had work buy the master collection so that I could edit video (even though that's not on my job description). Guess I'll have to wait until I get a new PC at work though.

Unfortunately I'm not on the hardware upgrade list for at least another year. Maybe two.

They wont let you upgrade the pc's hard drive on your own?

no more Audition splodge... they substituted it with Soundbooth.

I love Encore though. DVD authoring with PS is quite fun.

It's a laptop. I suppose I could pop the $50 and get a drive on my own but then I'll have to reinstall and reconfigure everything I use for work. That's a major pain and 2 day minimum process.

There's no video capture card on this computer so I'll do without the video editing tools (for now). So I just installed everything except video/dvd & audio editing software and related support files. Ended up only needing about 5GB for all that.

Neat surprise was to find that the disc in the jewel case labeled "3/3" is a DVD of video workshop tuts from Adobe and lynda.com. Says the DVD "contains over 13 hours of or professional training" for just about every Adobe software package. This will be fun to look over.

You can clone a small HD onto a bigger one (and have the rest of it free space or partition as your heart desires). No need to reinstall. PowerQuest DriveImage comes to mind.

would 3Gb make that big of a difference? You´d get Premiere and all its resources (that you CAN´T not install... 2Gb... that sux)

premeire pro is a slik program thow, i bought the total training tutorial from ebay, turns out to be a 5 dvd box set, that's like a gazilion hours training, that's enough to put anyone off
