| 530298 | 2007-03-06 03:40:00 | Well the software that the poster is going to install, includes the following. AutoDesk 3D Studio Max, Photoshop CS2, illustrator CS2, might run adobe after effects If they are retail copies, they would set them back tens of thousands of dollars, so the cost of the computer and the OS would be a drop in the bucket. I think the price should actually be closer to 10k or under for that lot. I priced up the Adobe CS2 package myself the other day which goes for about $2,200 (memory is a wee bit foggy) not sure about Autodesk or After effects but they should be under 3k each. |

| 530299 | 2007-03-06 06:37:00 | The key word is STUDENT. It wont cost anything like 10 grand. | Metla (12) | ||
| 530300 | 2007-03-06 07:20:00 | I was just thinking that after I posted. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 530301 | 2007-03-06 07:59:00 | The key word is STUDENT. It wont cost anything like 10 grand. SOme software is still expensive as a student. I think it was almost $1000 for 3D studio alone for a student licence. Still I don't think the software works under linux, at least I don't think photoshop does. |

| 530302 | 2007-03-06 08:23:00 | The thread starter never mentioned Linux.:illogical And with the right contacts (meaning a school that has struck a deal) you can get a 2 year time limited student edition of 3d Studio Max for a couple of hundred dollars, Though most students I know never paid a cent for their software......... |
