if you go the student route, let me know how the registration goes. I've been meaning to buy a copy of dreamweaver (my cousin's wife is a student) but I'm scared to because I'm nervous about the authentication.
edit:
>> Also, Adobe is offering some ridiculous discount right now for students/educators. Photoshop for $40 and Master Suite for $180.
I'm guessing thats because CS6 is coming out so soon. like in a month or two (or three.) We were going to upgrade from 5 to 5.5 at work because of the phoneGap integration in Dreamweaver but the Adobe rep apparently recommended we just wait.
