need software
 

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET AN UPGRADE FROM ILLUSTRATOR 9 TO 10 AND FROM PHOTOSHOP 7 TO WHATEVER THE NEW ONE IS IF THERE IS ONE BECAUSE YOU CAN USUALLY GET AN UPGRADE BUT I JUST HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO GET ONE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRICIATED

No idea. Buying is the obvious answer. As far as other methods, you'd probably have to search torrents or binary newsgroups. Maybe somebody else could help, but not usually.

Stuff like Photoshop often has updates that not everybody gets. I still use PS6 and PS7. I don't need CS2 yet. Same for most folks. And same for Illustrator.

New versions rarely offer anything monumental. The only reason I want Photoshop CS2 is because it incorporates NEF/RAW support from my Nikon dSLR.

Good luck.

newsgroups Cs2 9.0 & Illustrator 10. 9 dont crash like 7 . Faster loading , some newer filters such as: New Improved Noise reduction on Jpegs , remove artifacts, dslr, a couple other filters. It's more stable in my opinion on older machines lol

Adobe is releasing a public beta today of Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Their server is swamped right now.
