I liked this comment:
"Here Adobe, this is my left kidney- I'm British!"
Oddly enough it won't cost *me* anywhere near the quoted prices to buy
Adobe CS3, since I simply won't be buying it ... at all ... ever.
Meanwhile in other news, Kimball & Mattis have increased the price of
The GIMP by an outrageous 130% too, taking the price to a staggering
high of ... zero.
