hmm fireworks 4, I use it only to optimize my files.

Softwares to play with:

Illustrator
Photoshop
Flash
Director
GoLive
Dreamweaver
FORM Z
Swift 3d
Infini-d
Bryce 3d
Painter 5
Freehand
Poser 4

I think it will be enough to play with, but if you want I can give u a much longer list that this....

Have fun man and happy designing

Oh God, what a waste of one of the most powerful graphics appz. Well well, I guess some people have a lot of cash


I'm using Fireworks 4 more & more, I barely touch PS6 nowadays. It's so powerful, and it's a joy to work with and it's faster than Freehand 10 when it comes to vectors.

For some nice Fireworks resources I can highly recommend:
