You _should_ buy it from a U.S. mail order house. Many years ago,
before the restrictive trade practices that are apparently still legal
in the U.K. were prohibited in Australia, I often purchased hardware
and software from the United States. On the only occasion I had a
problem I found that the U.S. consumer protection applied to me and I
received a both a refund of my money _and_ the undelivered goods. Once
the U.S. supplier sends you the product you are entitled to exactly
the same service that a U.S. purchaser would receive and the U.S.
Commercial Service at your nearest U.S. Embassy will help you get it.
If the U.S. supplier refuses to send you the product because they have
been intimidated by Adobe then you should complain to everyone you can
think of and download a trial version and a crack from the Internet.
The only practical problem that I can think of is that the U.S.
version might not include a British English spell checker. Perhaps
someone who has the U.S. version can comment.
