Before I had a pirated (GASP!) version of CS2 and it worked just fine until I had a problem printing with it. So now, instead of getting another pirated (GASP!) version, I am actually BUYING (GASP!) CS3! Found a pretty good price for it too. I tried CS4 but realized that it doesn't work with my CutStudio plugin that lets me cut the prints I make. Basically it would make Illustrator set up registration marks on a print and allow my cutter to read them so it can contour cut the prints. That's what I use to make the vinyl decals, if anyone wanted to know.
But now I am getting a full NON-PIRATED (GASP!) version and can enjoy its totally legal goodness ^w^
