Sis' co-worker just got laid off and wants to start a web developing business. Looking for the full Macromedia Studio MX 2004 version (not academic) -- doesn't need the book but does need to be registerable. Could it be used or OEM, not sure?

Tried bidding on ebay and won but it was a bad seller - unsuccessful

I know there's a $100 rebate on it if I buy before 3/31/04 - and through search engines the best prices appear to be at pcmall for $499 ish.

Any suggestions? Thanks for the guidance... -rolleyes-

you might try to find an old version and go the upgrade route,

j&r has the upgrade for $299 link, but i dont know that this will help just trying to offer a different angle
