Macromedia Studio 8 is now shipping. The free trial versions can be found here. We MAY have some money in the budget to upgrade to Macromedia Studio 8 or Adobe Creative Suite 2. I plan to look at all of the new trial versions of the programs to see the differences between the new programs and the old. I am already leaning towards upgrading the Macromedia Suite because that is the primary software package that we use in the classroom, but I would like to get your opinions. You can learn more about both of the suites at the following web sites:

I have setup a poll on the forum so you can vote on your upgrade choice and I would appreciate student feedback in the comments below. You can find the poll here http://www.robinsblog.com/xoops/modules/xoopspoll/index.php?poll_id=2
