    Hi lads and ladies,

    Where in the same of all that is holy in Regi's underpants would someone buy a copy of Visio and/or Project. I've Googled, called and asked about, and no-one in Galway seems to sell Microsoft software. It's sad. I'll buy from anywhere in Ireland, assuming best price.

    I know this thread is better suited to other forums, but I'm stuck, and there are lots of beardy Unix nerds out there. I'm scared.

    Off the top of my head I'm sure the likes of CK or the other local dealers would sell you what you're after. Otherwise I'd try Komplett or other web based agents.

    CK Don't sell it, even if they did, I wouldn't buy at their 200% markups.

    Komplett don't appear to sell it, but I'll phone them, as I have an order in progress with them anyway.

    Cheers.

    BTW, I am looking for LEGAL Copies. Tut tut you PMIng warez monkies

    CK do sell it, but like most things they sell, they are often prevented from doing so by sheer incompetence. Also, 200% sounds a bit cheap for CK.

    Another to try is www.dcbgroup.com. Again, not cheap, but where needs must and all that.

    What's wrong with here:
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000BZ54T/qid=1088679970/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1_etk-software/102-9353895-8673762?v=glance&s=software&n=229534

    You didn't specify what version, so this is Visio Professional 2003.

    If it's for a college course, you could get a cheap copy through computer services in the college.
