Okay, with apologies in advance for a problem that has almost nothing to do with people photography...

My PhotoShop version 5.0 was part of a larger commercial buy, and is not upgradable. So I thought I'd be clever and buy an old version cheep and upgrade from that. Well damned if the 3.0 I bought on Ebay for $98.65 didn't turn up Mac, and I'm PC. It hasn't been registered, but it won't work for me, I've got to get rid of it.

Are any of you Mac guys out there wanting a cheep route to a PhotoShop 6.0? Buy this 3.0 from me for $98.65 (my cost, I'll pay the shipping) and you can upgrade to 6.0 For $179.95 from any distributor like MacWarehouse...That'll give you a 6.0 for under $300, basically half price.

I'l follow this with a picture, just because that's what this forum is really for (sorry, shawn, et al). If you all would just tolerate this for a couple of days, I'll try the photo.net classifieds if none of you are interested. I'd really rather sell this to someone I know... t

Okay... here's the picture, just to make up for this shameless post...

Made in Little River Canyon, Alabama of a woman born and bred in Northern Alabama (a spectacular example of native denizen and local landscape). Photo is circa 1989... t

Too stunned to type! :-0

Really good photograph, Tom!

It's a great photograph Tom.

I didn't know there were women in Alabama who took their clothes off.

and bathe regular, too!

This photograph is an example of two of the best kept secrets in these you nightied states.

She told me a joke, once... What does a girl from Alabama say, after she's had sex?... "Get off me, Daddy, yer crushin' my cigarettes!" har har har.

In actuality, it's an incredibly beautiful state, with many wonderful folks. One of the best things about living in north Georgia, is that northern Alabama is so nearby... t

I was just going to give you a quip regarding your photoshop offer that I still use the "wet stuff." Now, after seeing that gorgeous creature cross my screen I'm not sure "wet stuff" is or isn't appropriate!" I think it is!

PhotoShop'd reality is kinda like safe sex compared to silver on the streets (and in the canyons of Alabama!) I'm glad ya'll enjoyed this image, I've got a sale pending on the PS 3.0 from the photo.net classifieds... t

All right Susan! Glad to see you!

Southern women rule! Even Yankees improve when they move to the South! (ha).. t

-- tom meyer (twm@mindspring.com), December 17, 2000.

it is often said that the south will rise again. this photograph could be the reason why. :)

get out that confederate money, boys!

Hmmm. This reminds me of the saying "Whenever a Scot moves to England, it raises the average intelligence of both countries".

I have a Swedish version of Mac Photoshop 3.01 I don't use. Would you like it for your collection?
