This is great if you are in a bind, just be VERY careful not to let any
lab consultants see what you are doing if you are working on a commercial
project.  Commercial uses of government-owned equipment is not only
against the rules of most colleges, it can be illegal in some cases.

On a side note (off topic, please respond to me only)
My original reply about screen capturing photoshop trial edition graphics
was actually a light-hearted "I would Neeeever do thaaat" type remark.  I
do the same thing with Cool 3d from Ulead and the Eye-Candy plug-in demo
(previously the "Black Box") Being a programmer, I know how easy it is to
include time-limit functions on such programs, and find it both annoying
and pointless (from a security standpoint) to offer a program that doesn't
expire, but doesn't let you save.  With a little effort, the programmers
could have just as easily made the program expire (Ulead's GIF Animator
expiration function is one of the most impressive I have seen.. it is VERY
persistant, and resisted every attempt to "unexpire" it.. so I went ahead
and bought it to avoid the headache)  So basically, they are the ones who
released the demo that is fully functional except for saving.. they are
the ones who opened their program up for screen captures, so I have no
sympathy for them when their attempt at making you buy their product
fails.  I won't discuss this further, as it is way off topic for this
group.
