Hi Daniel,
Find a college student. They can buy the same exact version for much less. $200.00 ??? CS3 I believe is short for College Student, 3rd version.
They just need to prove they are a student. The price varies widely. I believe you can buy it from Adobe also. http://www.adobe.com You can call them at 1-800-585-0774.
I need to do the same thing.
If anyone uses it already, is it hard to program to use?
Thanks.
Lew
