I think I will upgrade while the box version is available with my educational discount, and just sit there until something better comes along. I'll bet there are a lot of developers that have been praying for Adobe to make this stupid move. -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Nygren Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2013 6:51 AM To: lug Subject: [Leica] Saying adieu to Adobe Philippe wrote: From a European perspective i.e. price tag, this amounts to payingthe suite on instalments over three years or so and that probably includes upgrades on top of updates. A CD/DVD would have become obsolete over that period of time, would it not? And 3 years, who keeps a camera for so long? So what's the big deal? JOHN responded by noting how many people use older versions of CS. I agree with John. I am one of those people. I don't need the latest. I am content with what works and what I know how to use. Given that I hang on to my software for a considerable time, does it make sense to pay $30 a month? Let's say I pay full retail for Photoshop. That must be about $600. That price is considerably steeper than putting out $30 a month, but thinking this out a bit, after about 20 months I will have spent the $600 in rental costs and will not own the program. I'll still be on the $30 a month treadmill which may be $40 by then. Why would I do that? I will stick with CS4 and start looking at alternatives. Adieu, Adobe.
