Got an older computer and want to do some photo editing but lack the right software? You may be in luck, as Adobe has released the full version of Creative Suite 2 – including Photoshop CS2, InDesign 2 and other software – for free!
While Adobe is releasing the software package for free, newer computers may have trouble running it because of a lack of updates (the current, updated version of the software is Creative Suite 6). The only requirement to
download the software is a free Adobe account. Besides the suite itself, individual copies of the bundled software can be downloaded as well.
The software is available in both Windows and Mac versions.
Adobe CS2 was originally released in April 2005 and is no longer supported by the company. On Dec. 13, the company
disabled the activation servers for CS2 products and Acrobat 7 signifying the end of the suite's support life.

Such an awesome fail and it's only the start of 2013. So, they gave us the keys to the Ferrari but we are only allowed to ride it if we already own a Ferrari.
