[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1492586, member: 24098"] This is an easy one... I don't think it's that they "couldn't" answer, they probably just didn't want to and lose the sale. The simple answer is a very definite [B]NO[/B]. To elaborate, a version of Adobe CS that old will be PowerPC only. The latest Macs use Intel processors (anything made after 2006). For a time, Apple bundled software called Rosetta with OS X to provide for compatibility with older PowerPC software. Apple pulled Rosetta when OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released, and it continues to not be available in 10.8 (Mountain Lion), which would ship pre-installed on your new Mac. Since 10.6 predates your new Mac's hardware by a good amount of time, it's unlikely and that you would be able to downgrade to 10.6, which would by your only option to run Rosetta. I would imagine that with a version that far back, you wouldn't be eligible for an upgrade package at a discount. My advice would be to contact Adobe directly and see if they'll offer you any kind of discount. [/QUOTE]
