Sometimes it is really tough to follow the rules. I have spent a significant part of the morning trying to register some software I purchased from Adobe. They dropped support for GoLive and so now I have\u00a0 to use Dreamweaver. I don’t like Dreamweaver and that probably makes this process even more irritating.<\/p>\n

Anyway, to obtain the educational discount, I must prove that I am a faculty member. There is a list of things you can provide – a faculty ID with picture, a pay stub, a letter from your boss, etc. I used my digital camera to take a picture of my id and sent that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It turns out my ID was issued in 2005 and it does not prove I am presently employed as a faculty member. I agree the date clearly does not say 2008, but my institution does not go through the process of issuing IDs each semester. Unless we go to a different numbering system, this is my card for life. They can reprogram the swipe strip, but why take another picture. I should have smiled. Efficiency is not unique to universities. My state does not require I get a driver’s license each year. Sorry, I am getting worked up again.<\/p>\n

I thought perhaps the fact that I was corresponding via a university email service might prove I was a faculty member or a student. A university email account is not on the list.<\/p>\n

I think a letter from my boss is out. These are tough financial times for educational institutions and he is probably meeting with the legislature or rich alumni. I don’t want to bother him with a request for a letter proving I am a faculty member. <\/p>\n

I guess I will have to wait until I get paid so I can fax a copy of the pay stub.<\/p>\n

I suppose I will have to use GoLive until then. Did I say that GoLive was a superior product and I have no idea why Macromedia would continue Dreamweaver and drop GoLive?<\/p>\n
