I am so angry. I am a long time user and supporter of Adobe, but this crap is insufferable, and I now hate them, and post-Jobs snooty a** s***s at Apple. They are pricing freelancers out of business. And the software and the s***ty new computers aren't even worth it!
The alternatives out there suck donkey d***, so I will not be switching.
So, just like Cubans who had to keep vintage cars running because of embargoes - I am going to keep vintage computers running, so I can enjoy the functionality of vintage CS3 for as long as I can.
Really - I hate you Adobe. Kiss my a** - I hate you.
My money will go into buying and maintaining vintage computers who can run editions of Adobe software when it was still a great company, which do everything I need.
