A bit like how IBM 'accidentally' put the full version of their old operating system on a magazine coverdisc - the happy chappies at Adobe have now put online the Creative Suite CS2 stuff which you can download for 'free' from their website.

It says you're supposed to already be a customer - but methinks that is bollocks and just a way to appear like those old users of CS2 paid for something that's not free now. I read it as FREE and I think that's the general consensus.
Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 are awesome - I had to upgrade my Illustrator to take advantage of the transparent gradients and line width tools - but for general work both of these are perfect.
I really don't like how the subscription service to the latest stuff is half the price in the USA to here and other countries. I think in Australia the government are stepping in to sort Adobe out, the UK government don't give a toss tho :/
