Temporarily technologically tongue tied!

Yesterday I bought Macromedia Studio 8 so that I can finally start experimenting with Flash and Dreamweaver. Financially it seemed like that was the best option because at the NYU bookstore Flash alone was like $250 and Dreamweaver $200, so why not get the combo for $300? I really thought about getting the Creative Suite with the full version of Photoshop included (since I only bought Elements last semester) but I just can't swing that much money for something I don't know if I'll even use that much. I feel so fortunate to be a student right now so that I can get technological discounts. Otherwise this stuff would be waaaaaaay too much for me.

I've been feeling so computer savvy since taking Tech Trends last semester, but at the moment I again feel a little technologically overwhelmed because now I have several new programs that I don't know ANYTHING about! In addition to Flash and Dreamweaver, the bundle came with Fireworks and Contribute (I don't even know what those do......), so now I have several new programs to master. Each program comes with a simple introduction, but I am looking forward to checking out more tutorials so that I can become proficient!
