![Apple iPod touch 8 GB (2nd Generation--with iPhone OS 3.1 Software Installed) [NEWEST MODEL]](http://maculous.com/images/i/41WgyV%2ByOLL._SL160_.jpg)
I ended up ordering the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium upgrade (for Mac) 
instead of the Web Standard Upgrade. This decision was based on the fact that the Premium version includes Photoshop and costs only $100 more.
I have installed the software on both my PowerMac Dual G5 and my Intel iMac, Adobe allows installation on 2 computers if one is used at home, and so far I have only used Dreamweaver CS3. There are enormous improvements in window handling that, alone, would justify the cost of this upgrade. With the Macromedia Studio 8 on the Mac the behavior of program windows was maddening and extremely frustrating. I use desktop managers on all of my Macs to give me multiple virtual desktops. With the older Dreamweaver if I gave another program focus all of the Dreamweaver windows would go sulk somewhere in never never land. Or, if I had some file activity going on the activity window would follow me around like a lost puppy when I switched to another desktop. Dreamweaver windows were either AWOL or in the way far too often, resulting in more than one juicy expletive on thousands of occasions.
Fortunately this most annoying behavior has been fixed. Dreamweaver now handles windows as well as a freeware text editor. This feature alone was worth the $493 to me. By ordering from Amazon I was able to get a very slightly lower price, free shipping, and not so much with the sales tax.
I’ll have more to say in the next few weeks as I use the other programs, but my biggest wish on my wish list was for some much needed bug fixes in Dreamweaver. I’m so glad I got that. I give the new Dreamweaver CS3 4 stars as a preliminary rating, this might go up as I use it more.
