For me the local video store is more than an iTunes 24 hour rental.   
OTOH, I might need the rental for more than 24 hours since we will  
sometimes stop a movie in the middle and continue it a day or two  
later, and the local video store lets me have it for more than a week.

I'm pretty peaved about the lack of Elements version 5 or 6 on OSX.   
The last OS X version works terribly on my wife Deb's MacBook.  Not  
just slow, but also very glitchy.

But maybe in the near future I will buy PS CS3 and stop caring about  
Elements.  While I despaired at every getting it because my current  
Photoshop copy is too old to upgrade, I recently found out I was  
eligible for a discount because of a hardware purchase Deb made for me.
