Trite as it is, it will serve you in good stead.
Keep an eye on places like DealNN <http://www.dealnn.com/> for deals
on software and hardware.
If you are a student, teacher (or married to one) a number of places
offer academic pricing on software:
<http://www.academicsuperstore.com/>
<http://www.journeyed.com/>.
Older, surplussed versions are good too:
<http://store.purplus.net/>
I've personally (or professionally) dealt with all three of those
companies.
The discounts clearly aren't nearly as steep, but they're legal
copies...
My first thought was they were operating in a country that had loose
copywrite laws.... but their address is NYC, and their phone # is
Brooklyn based.
Oh lordy the scam central that Brooklyn is! Go poke through some
photography, AV, or audio equipment forums if you want hair-raising
tales of just what they do in Brooklyn.
Also just because they have a PO box and answering service in NYC
doesn't mean the downloads aren't offshore.
