that's how much Macromedia Studio 8 costs! that's excluding VAT though so it's really around £818 x_x
it's expensive but it has 5 programs: Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, FlashPaper and Contribute
i've never used FlashPaper or Contribute but they seem like useful things to have =/
when i save up enough money i'll buy it and then i could go freelance \:D/ but there'll probably be another new version by then XD
if i was to buy Flash, Dreamweaver and Fireworks separately it would cost me £1147!! that's £1340 including VAT x_x so buying the Studio 8 package is the best way to go
Adobe Creative Suite 2 costs £646 ;__; that includes Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, two other programs and some stock photos
I was wondering why the hell these programs are so expensive and it just came to me - if everybody could afford it then anyone could be a web/graphic designer! XD
But still, I wish they were less expensive ;(

I don't know.. it's like an urban legend that they instill in you at university - some unfortunate guy years and years ago, or a friend of friend of a friend, got caught using pirated software and got sent to jail, fined thousands of pounds and ordered to never use computers again
there's also that other tale, that they usually tell newbies, of the guy that didn't back up his work regularly and his computer crashed, losing all his work and he failed his course LOL
wait, that happened to me!! ;-;
i would rather not take the risk - you may think it'll never happen to you, but you never know
i'm in no hurry to go freelance - i'd be much happier working for someone and getting a regular wage
