This may be slightly offtopic here, but it's really related...
I'd _ _like__ to become a photoshop lover...BUT...
You see I have just purchased a download copy of photoshop -- all shiny 800MB of it waiting to download through their fancy downloader. But that's my problem. I can't get it to download. I have contacted their support people who were worthless! They told me to contact Microsoft! (For support in downloading a competing product (MS does have a photo editing package), using a competing browser(Firefox), running a competitor's product that forced theirs out of business (Sun's Java), to run a proprietary Java program to download the product.
Um...I don't get that. But haven't heard back from them since. Anyone have any ideas?
I tried IE8, but it shut down their downloader due to it trying to 'execute writable memory' (usually a corrupt program -- especially with java). I even tried downloading it on my linux box but haven't even gotten java to load on it (I don't usually use my linux box for browsing the net).
I'm pulling my hair out...here I WANT to be a photoshop lover, but...well... you can see my hair strands on the floor...hope my beagle doesn't think they are edible!....they'll eat anything!
Thanks for any suggestions...

Saving…

I finally got it downloaded...yippee!
I fell for the idea of ordering the paper-manual (is it heavy!) with it and the manual cam e by post before I got the download to work. I called someone at the support desk -- turns out the 'installer' I was supposed to install -- well, I wasn't supposed to run it -- I was supposed to save it. It was just a combo .7z-unpacker & installer.
When I tried to run it on download, it crashed, so I thought I nothing was working. Turns out if I just saved it aside and used the lz7-unpacker to unpack the actual download into a local dir.
From there, it looked exactly like a DVD-install image (the download was over 800MB, compressed!). It mostly installed fine -- a few permission problems, but I've cleaned them up once I knew what it wanted.
Wow...what a lot to explore and absorb!
I hope it's worth it. Sure is alot faster than Paintshop Pro, but I definitely can use a 64-bit OS for more memory...
To bad MS added licensed-enforced limits to their 32-bit OS's to not use the PAE addressing that's on all new processors (Core2 or newer, or older Xeon processors). Otherwise we could use up to 64GB (machine allowing) on WinXP...sigh. It would probably scream! (Still only up to 3GB/program, but think of the disk caching and # of programs you could run ....). Oh well, large companies are there to suck us dry....be they apple or adobe or MS...
