Just buy the download version. It's easier, and a lot faster! (assuming that you have a DSL internet connection or better, and not Dial-up. If you have dial-up, the you might as well just order it and have it shipped there by camel, paddle boat, or a falcon or bird of some kind
, because any of those would be faster than dial-up..)
You can always get a box, print out a special box cover for the download version, and burn the download on a CD/DVD for later use. As far as I know, there are no differences in the program between the DL version and the boxed version, except for the obvious ones.
