I tried to be good...

I looked up how much it would be to go ligit.
To like, actually *own* my software.

So I call Adobe to ask about the group licenses. Totally unhelpful. They refer me to a reseller.

I call the reseller. I say that I'm part of a freelance co-op, (fancy name for friends with design skillz,) that is looking to by software, and we were interested in a batch license. We'd only need about 4 copies, though. There aren't that many of us.

So the nice lady runs the numbers on the Adobe Creative Suite Primium for us.

Instead of $1,197.99 a piece, it will be $1,169.99 a piece.
A $28 dollar difference.

*blink*

Are you sure, Ma'am?
Yep.
$28 dollars.
Not even enough to cover the cost of shipping.


Well, so much for dreams of going legit.
- k.


PS - applied to 3 new jobs in the last 24 hours. We'll see what comes of it.
