Wanted Dead or Alive
02/15/2006
I was wondering, does anyone have any version of photoshop they would be willing to let me borrow. I have been trying to do some prettying on my blog and I would really like the capabilities of the photo program. I learned on an old school version, let’s see, I was 17 so whatever was published in 1996, and I know that I would be able to get what I needed from pretty much any version that exists now. I just don’t want to splash the cash. I almost cried when I saw how much it cost when I was hanging out in the Apple store the other day.
Not that I just hang out in the Apple store, I was waiting for my Ipod to be fixed. Funny story about my Ipod. The first one I bought on ebay…I think it cost me about $300 clams. About 11 months later it had a suicide attempt when it jumped out of my bag. As it ran towards the tracks of an oncoming train I grabbed it and admonished it for being so selfish. I mean to take it’s own life just as I was about to get on the T, that is just plain rude. Alas, while the Ipod was saved in the corporeal sense, the soul had left and that was the day the music died, the Chevy was at the levy, but the levy was dry.
So off to the Apple store I went (people buy the extended warranty, it’s worth it) and they did a test here and a test there, they turned themselves around, and that’s what it’s all about. The battery was waning and as such I got me a new Ipod (like I said, get the extended warranty). Two weeks ago, a mere two months after the replacement, shortly before my trip to Denver, Rocky Mountain high, Rocky Mountain High, Ipod the second JUST STOPPED WORKING. Huh.
So off to the Apple store again. As they were able to determine on site that the little engine that could couldn’t anymore and they switched out as I stood there. As grateful as I am that they were all, you got your second one for free two months ago, here’s a third one for free today, I have to wonder. Has anyone else had such questionable luck with the Ipods? I’m glad the customer service is all about we do chicken right but really?
So yeah, anyone with info on photoshop, give me a shout.
Ta.

I could probably score you a fairly updated version of Photoshop from a guy I work with. although, it’s probably one that he just stole off the ‘net and got the key somewhere, knowing him. he’s a total hacker like that.
You could also try Paint Shop Pro, the latest version of which has functionality quite comparable to the latest version of Photoshop. It’s also about 1/7 the price, and there’s a 30-day free trial.
I know I have almost every version made, but I stopped a few years ago so I do not thinkI have one for osX other than my actual version. But if you are pre osX let me know and I will dig for it.
Hey all,
I am thinking of making this a contest who can mail me a copy…
Okay, not really, I think that Sarah is going to mail me a copy but thanks for the outpouring of support.
