It's good to know people. It's good to know people who know people. Yesterday, I was given the Macromedia Flash 5/Freehand 10 studio and the Dreamweaver 4/Fireworks 4 studio. Both are totally legit and completely unopened. Almost $900 of software for free! :D The person who gave them to me was given them by a friend who works for the company, but was never going to use them.
The fact that Macromedia just came out with new versions of all these things matters not a wit to me. I am excited to be able to add them to the list of things I am learning: studio lighting, Photoshop, illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, HTML, typography.
I like learning stuff. I also like free stuff. This is a match made in heaven. Rock on.
