Cheapest way to get PhotoShop 6.0 or 7.0?

[OverVolt]

I need this for Graphics Design class in school, it would make things alot easier and faster if i didn't have to stay in school working on their machines (P4 Will 1.3, 128MB 1600 RD-RAM) with these like 20Mb+ PSD files (not to mention 1st gen. Logitech mice and 60Hz monitor ughhh...) and eating my free time between clases, that i could be using to study for a exam or something i have that day.

Anyway, where's the best place to get it? I'm pretty sure my school doesn't sell it in their store, so where can i go about buying a Student verision since this is pretty much for doing schoolwork. Any suggestions? I'm trying to get it in the 100-200 Range, most of the PS6.0-7.0 ive seen online around about $300 used.

Do you think you could survive with Photoshop Elements?

I explained the differences in this thread..

Just stay away from anything in that price range that isn't clearly labeled as an academic version -- it will be be pirated, with no upgrade path and will possibly self-destruct if you apply a patch. If you're going to use an illegal copy don't give money to spammer scum to get it!

Try a Google of "Academic software photoshop" and be sure to check www.Resellerratings.com before buying.
