[QUOTE="Richie_Gecko, post: 360234, member: 12982"] I agree with this. Student discounts are quite significant. However, I also think there should be a developer discount. As a software engineer, I constantly have to keep up with the lastest and greatest technologies for my job, and for clients. I make decent money, but the software I need for work is very expensive. This is what I have purchased in the last year: Adobe Flex With Charting: $749 Navicat: $99.99 (the only affordable one in the bunch) Adobe Photoshop CS2: $649 Macromedia Studio 8: $999 I will also purchase the upcoming Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium upgrade for another $499. I think software companies, like Adobe, should reconsider their pricing models. Developers are forced to pay ridiculous prices for their products, or pirate them. I choose not to pirate, but I am definitely in the minority. Personally, I think companies should pay these prices, and developers should be sold "developer editions" for a significant price cut. Ok...I'm done ranting. :) [/QUOTE]
