I’ve been looking a little bit around Adobe Labs the past couple of days as I await the availability of Creative Suite 3.  I’ll definitely be buying Design Premium or Web Premium, as I use several of the tools (despite the fact that the cost terrifies me).  In doing so, and looking more closely at [...]

There are likely to be about a gazillion others blogging the same info, however…
