From what they told me, a few months ago, it was to ship by the last day of the second quarter. That is, before 1 July. They have never waivered from that as far as I know.

By the way, the current academic price for Boris Red is down to $595.00. Which is still a LOT, but it is much better than the list price of $1595. That includes a free update (boxed with bound manual) of the 3GL version which is a plug-in for Vegas.

I wish I was back in college (AGAIN). . . just to get the academic pricing of Boris Red!

(sniff, sniff. . . .)

I got ties older than some of you guys.

Hate to admit it, but I'm possibly older than most of you. And, I'm still taking courses. Too many cute co-eds, (opps, courses), that keep me hopping.

>>I got ties older than some of you guys.

Good line!

"I got ties older than some of you guys"

Maybe you should buy some new ones. ;)

hey, all that money I spent sending my daughter to college finally has paid back....hehehehe

I'll give you guys a tip. I enrolled in "Defensive Driving" for $30 at a local Dallas JUCO. It was the cheapest course in the catalog. I sent my registration information to academicsuperstore.com and they honor me as a student. I then purchased VV4, DVDA, and 1394 card for $299. So you can gain student status and get the discount fairly easily.

Hey-maybe BillyBoy don't need ties. Maybe he's beyond that now. I hate ties and I have to wear the things every day. Like a colorful noose.

Unless I'm mistaken (which is often the case), you can't - legally - use an academic version of software to make money with, right?
But, how do they know?

Yea... I'm beyond the rope around the neck thing. Haven't had one on in years. Had a cousin, he NEVER had one on in his whole life and I do mean never, not even when we buried him, he would have jumped out of his coffin if we tried. I used to have to as part of the dress code. Was it seems now part of some past life.

Now I'm almost as hooked on computers. Get up, shower, dress, go downstairs, first thing before coffee is even put on, got to flip on the old PC or two or three. Bad haibt.

Dat5150, although doing it with an unorthodox course, certainly has the right idea. ANY accredited institution counts, as long as it is a regular course, and the registration of that academic documentation at places like the academicsuperstore.com lasts for one year from the time you registered for the course. You can find a LOT of bargains in a year.

Driver's Ed courses may get you an additional discount on your insurance.

SOME courses actually pertain to computers, video, and other useful things, and typically there are quite a few tailored to us seniors. Typical cost, $30 to 150.00. At LSU, where they have whole departments dedicated to senior and "casual" courses, the expensive courses usually have something that makes it worthwhile, like software, or hardware, in the price. It is just a matter of finding one that you like.

SOME academic software has commercial limitations on it, others do not. You can simply ask at that software company's site. I find that most do not these days. SoFo is an example.

Enjoy your further education. And, you don't have to wear a tie, either.

It's been 45 years since I wore a tie. I didn't know when I quit drinking and smoking that I'd get hooked on computers.
