I thought that PS CS would install over version 7.0, but since it didn’t, do I remove it from my computer? Are my actions, shapes and other stuff still in 7.0 files?

MacBook Pro 16” Mockups 🔥

– in 4 materials (clay versions included)

– 12 scenes

– 48 MacBook Pro 16″ mockups

– 6000 x 4500 px

Keep it on your hard drive until you are ABSOLUTELY sure that Photoshop 8 does everything you need it to do without problems. Any new software release has the opportunity to introduce speedbumps in your workflow. And of course, as the engineers discover them they work to release an X.x.x update to address those problems. Until that time, it’s always wise to keep the earlier version that you know works for you.

As for your custom Actions, Shapes, Brushes, Gradients, Layer Styles, etc…Save them out as sets to your presets folder and give them custom file names so you don’t lose them. All of these can be saved out from the Presets Manager, except for Actions. Actions must be saved as a Custom set from the Actions Palette itself.

You could play frisbee with the disk.

You could spin it on it’s edge like a quarter.

You could put it on an old turntable and rotate it backwards to see if it contains any satanic messages.

You could microwave it and watch the mini-fireworks show.

You could add a couple hundred AOL install disks and wallpaper a room.

You could … um, nevermind that one.

You could use it as a coaster.

You could use it to draw TWO different sizes of PERFECT circles.

You could roll it down a hill on edge to see how far it goes.

You could use it as a pinkey hula-hoop.

You could put a chain on it and have some really phat bling-bling.

You could use it as a handy pocket mirror.

You could flip pancakes with it.

You could use it to scratch off lottery tickets.

You could use it as a high-tech ping-pong paddle.

You could cook a mini-bundt cake on it.

You can use it as an ice scraper for your windshield in the winter.

I’m sure you can think of more. 🙂

You can add a handle and use it to cut pizza
You could sharpen the edge and use it to shave
You could file teeth in it and install it on your circular saw You could toss it in the air, take pictures and sell them flying saucer sightings You could put it on a blind street corner to see around it You could use it as a signaling mirror in a survival kit You could get down on the floor, claim you slipped on it and sue someone Two Words: Odd Job (think James Bond/Goldfinger)
You could use the hole to measure spaghetti
You could write messages on them with a black marker that can be slipped under a door You could mount it on the hub of your bike
You could mount it on a head band and play eye doctor

I like the wallpaper idea, please tell me where to send my 200 copies of AOL disks that I’ve been throwing in a corner. I bet we could get enough of those disks that people throw away that we could build a giant reflector that will capture enough solar wind to change the orbit of the Earth….

Dave,

If she takes your advice, I DO hope she never has to install CS on another machine or format his HDD……

Allyson,

Keep your 7 CD VERY safe – If you need to re-install you will need it to verify that you are entitled to use the upgrade to CS

You could use it as a coaster.

how original!

You could use it to draw TWO different sizes of PERFECT circles.

define "perfect"

You could roll it down a hill on edge to see how far it goes.

I live in a cave. Maybe I could use it as a wheel.
It would save me from having to become an inventor.

You could use it as a pinkey hula-hoop.

Or Vanna White could use it as a regular one.

You could put a chain on it and have some really phat bling-bling.

You could use it as a handy pocket mirror.

The razor blade scratches it too easily. ;->

You could flip pancakes with it.

Only if I get to spray it with Pam…

….Dawber

You could use it to scratch off lottery tickets.

more fun to flip it like a coin

You could use it as a high-tech ping-pong paddle.

that would give your opponent an unfair advantage

You could cook a mini-bundt cake on it.

….or a Denny’s Grand Slam breakfast

You can use it as an ice scraper for your windshield in the winter.

thin ice?

I’m sure you can think of more. 🙂

notwithstanding the EULA? <g,r,d>

Maybe I should ask Radio Shack. They claim they’ve got answers; but frankly, if Radio Shack were our provider, we’d _really_ be in trouble now, wouldn’t we?

Yep. The "flea market" special. Illegal as hell, too. I wouldn’t recommend it. But I’ve probably picked up a few, inadvertantly, that way.

How I know my copy of Borland C++ 4.5 was authentic, which I picked up at a flea market, was: it is the final version. It was a factory CD (I got it long before CD burners were available to the general public, anyway), and it came with the jewel case and inserts, obviously not a repro. Since 4.5 is the final version, I wasn’t buying someone’s post-upgrade discard.

However, he could have copied it to floppies, or tape backup, as well as to his HD, first. No way of telling.

BTW, it wasn’t 5 bucks, it was $45. Far less than I had to pay for a copy of Quickbasic 4.5 back in 1996, just before it went out-of-print. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr…
