installing adobe products

i really don't want to upgrade on the PC. but it may end up going that way. if it does, i could end up having to buy a full edition for the mac. very painful! lots of dollars! the possibility that i could get a break on the creative suite for the mac if i don't upgrade on the PC is good. i'd like to keep it that way.

right off, i ran into issues. forgot that i needed to have a previous edition installed to install acrobat 7.0. scrambled to find the 6.0 disc, which, of course had to verify the 5.0 disc. one of these days, i'm going to have to succumb to buying the full edition instead of the upgrades. i'm just cheap!

while searching for these prior discs, i ran into a copy of photoshop elements 4.0. handy - i can install that in parallels on the macbook! nice. i do looove working with the macbook.

installing illustrator CS2, now. things seem to be running a little more smoothly.
& now for Photoshop CS2. this installer objected to a previous copy existing in the original folder. simple fix - remove the folder.

going to reboot and check all three for activation & updates.and again, and again, and again... ad infinitum. of course all the updates require permissions.
