Searching at amazon, it seems that it's indeed quite cheap. amazon.co.uk
doesn't seem to have version 9, but version 8 sells at 27 pounds. At
amazon.com version 9 sells at 10 dollars.

As I recall from when I actually used PSP, version 8 was the best in the
series. It started going downhill when Corel stepped in.

*blink* Never seen one of those. *envy*
I get the student discount in some places, even thought I'm a working
part-time student. All they check for is the student card.

Yeah. Back when I was at uni, "broadband" hadn't been invented yet.
Everybody accessed the Internet with 36KB modems. If they could afford
such an expensive device, and the ISP charges to go with it. (Assuming
your ISP supported 36KB yet.) And sitting at uni, I had 100 Mbit to play
with! (OK, shared between me and 80 other people in the building, but
still...)
Some of the guys in the NERV clan *still* get 100 Mbit. Oh to be young
again...
[Mind you, some of those guys get SEX too. Lucky ****s!]

My sister kept her card for years after she finished uni. Used it
everywhere. Took a while for people to start noticing... ;-)
Come to think of it, both me and my sister have the "student" version of
M$ Office. I don't know *how* it's supposed to tell whether you're a
student or not...

I used V8 for a long time at work, and V9 at home. I just recently got the
latest Pro Photo X2 from Corel ... and really, I don't see any big
differences, apart from nicer eye candy. The functionality is still all
there, the menus are almost identical, a few additional tools and better
designed older tools, but essentially 95% the same program.
So I'd agree with Gail and Warp, go get a cheap copy of PSP 8 or 9 and give
that a whirl - it has most of the features that a non-Pro uses in Photoshop
anyway.

Ok, lets go for it. Set a time and I'll be there.
Anyone else up for a meet?
