"No problem," I thought. I'll just buy and download Adobe Illustrator. I went to the Adobe site, paid my $600 with a credit card, completed the transaction and received a confirmation telling me I should receive the download link IN ONE BUSINESS DAY. I don't have one business day -- I need to get this stuff to the printer TODAY.

I'm really ticked about this.

First, all good wishes to you in your new practice. I hope to hear more about it by P.M.

Next, since I am guessing there is no local equivalent of Kinko's, how about ordering from vistaprint and having them overnight it? Should be a lot cheaper than $600 even with the shipping and duty.
