cs4 cost comparrison

Hi

Assuming I read it correctly is the differential between Uk and US prices
closing?

It appears the upgrade from CS3 web premium is going to cost me £455 as
compared to £325 in the US Excluding tax. As I remember the differential was
much more for CS3?

Next question is is it worth upgrading, be interesting to see what the
overhead is on system resources on the release version. On dualcore 3ghz and
4gb ram cs3 is still not fast but but it is easily acceptable.

Decisions Decisions........

Cheers

Ian

I only need DW & FW and upgrade from Studio 8.

Massive price saving if you just buy the 2 programs as upgrades rather than
the complete suite.

Hi David

next question is when will your book be available? I assume you are re
writing/updating your previous missives?

Any chance of an upgrade price;-)

It's a decision only you can make. I find the improvements in Dreamweaver
CS4 very worthwhile. The ability to edit style sheets in vertical split
view, while keeping the main page visible (and updatable by pressing F5
each time you make a change) is brilliant. So, too, is the ability to
inspect dynamic features, such as flyout menus, in Live view.

I haven't done any extensive testing on other CS4 programs, but the
demonstrations that I have seen of Flash are stunning. Fireworks
enthusiasts are also reported to be very pleased with the changes in CS4.

According to the Adobe website, trial versions will be available in
November. Given them a whirl, and make up your own mind.

Hi David

was only joking about the discount :-) All your books are good value.

Clearly just in time for Xmas so need to add it to my list.

Item one is Meg Ryan
Item two is a holiday around the Vinyards of the world
Item three will be your book so I suspect Santa will oblige

cheers

Ian

Will this be an Amazon.co.uk release or only in the US?

I wish I could oblige. For some unexplained reason, Amazon.co.uk offers
only a measly 5% discount. Computer Manuals is a bit better with 20% off.
In the States, where books are a lot cheaper anyway, there's usually a 34%
discount (although it's not yet listed by Amazon.com).

Ok

I live in a fantasy world, but at my age it's allowed. I used to lust after
an actress called Felicity Kendal which will mean nothing to those in the US
but gives an indication of my age
