I just bought online a new PowerMac G5. Lucky for us, since my mom is on the board of my sister's school, we get to buy Apple products at 10% discount because we are eligable for Education discounts.

In addition to the computer itself (which is going to kicks ***!) I bought the Academic version of Dreamweaver because its a program which I genuinely want to learn how to use, in addition to make websites.

Will the Academic version have limitations that a full verison would not have? What limitations?

Well, academic versions usually prohibit you from using anything you make with it. At least that's how VC++ works.

Yeah, there might be some law that prevents you from benefiting financialy from anything you do using academic versions of software.

No, I do not believe that you can profit from "academic" licenses. It is assumed that you would purchase their software with only the intent on learning.

If it's anywhere, I'd think it'd be in the EULA. Profitting from work would constitute a breach of contract.

You couldn't go into the webpage making business.

It is a better idea to learn the languages anyway. It is more "professional," in the first place.

Jesus Christ, you.. you know what you are, stop mentioning warez in every damn thread you post in! It's pushing the rules, it doesn't make you look cool and it's really really annoying.

As long as you have scholarly intent (vague, eh?), you can create "stuff" with it, as long as you or anyone with your creation does not profit from it.

I want the 30" HD Cinema Display. Those things look godly in person.

That makes no sense... it seems like it would be so easy to break the law.

Whatever..

Yeah, the 30" display is insane in person.
