Adobe Creative Suite a sweet deal

Adobe Creative Suite a sweet deal

CS3 Design Premium The version of CS3 that I tested is Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium, which consists of InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, Acrobat 8 and Bridge.

Impressive about Creative Suite is that it’s “Universal binary,” which means the programs contained in the suite will fly on the new generation of PCs and Intel-inside Macs.

Also useful is the tight integration of each separate program in the suite. All the programs work together perfectly and moving from one to the other with a file is easy and intuitive.

Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium is available at an academic discount price of $589.

Kerio MailServer provides Leopard-compatible groupware

Kerio MailServer provides Leopard-compatible groupware – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Kerio MailServer offers a Safari 3 and Leopard-compatible alternative with a lot of groupware functionality.

Kerio’s Safari 3 compatibility stems mostly from the fact that it doesn’t have a rich text editor in the client, but it works flawlessly for plain text email and the interface is as smooth and AJAXy as Zimbra’s. Kerio has had a Mac version of the server since 2003, with drop-in Exchange replacement capability and the ability to sync contacts, calendars and email without the need for an external client. Kerio has even had iPhone sync since last Fall.

Kerio MailServer 6.5 w/AV 10-user is available at an academic discount price of $299.
