However, if she's selling, she should either work for a company she can ask for a copy from to work at home, or she is self-employed, in which case pay full price and write it off as a business expense.
Long story short: She has a degree in grphic arts from Philadelphia University (formally Textiles) and has an old G4 with other graphic arts programs, but not InDesign. Now she finds that in order to get a job with most of the GD companies out there, she needs InDesign experience, but has no access to it at her current job.

Also, whether or not its a business expense, that doesn't put $700 of expendable cash in our pockets now. You can only write something off if you can afford it in the first place.
