Looking for Adobe advice

Mar 08, 2011 14:05

One way I've saved money in the past is by buying older (unused) versions of Adobe programs on ebay instead of buying the latest version. I'm planning to buy a new computer sometime this year which means upgrading to Windows 7 ( Read more... )

you've bought them on amazon? amazon wouldn't let me sell mine...although they are educational versions so that might have something to do with it.

On ebay, not Amazon

I'm running Acrobat 8 Pro on Win 7 (not in any sort of compatibility mode) and it's a-okay. :) (I think this is two versions out of date now?)

(And I want to give you major props for buying Adobe products and not torrenting them or anything. Good software is worth paying for.)

How about older versions of MsWord. I'd love to run Word 97 again. :o)

I'm running MsWord 2000 on my Windows 7 system. Only draw back is newer versions of Word are needed to convert my story files to Kindle, so I use the library computers for that.

But given other responses 97 would probably work...not sure how easy it is to find new copies still.
