I have CS4 and I don't see any reason to upgrade it as it does everything I need. 

I don't like the cloud, and won't buy into it unless/until I absolutely have to. 

I only have one PC, and it's all I can do/afford to keep this one updated with reasonably decent hardware to do what I need. I've never had problems with viruses or malware and I've been on the net since the mid 90s. I have had hard drives crash so I try to keep everything backed up to externals and dvds. 

I got an e-mail ad from Smith-Micro the other day that's rather disturbing, first mention of the cloud I've seen from them. I really hope that isn't a foreshadow to poser going to the cloud. If it is, then they'll be losing me as a customer. But I suspect at some point it eventually will. 

I prefer workstations to laptops and PDAs are just a joke. I want full control over my software and hardware, and the cloud doesn't allow for that. I have a 22" LCD monitor and even this screen isn't big enough for me. If I could afford it I'd have a wall-sized display, or a network of displays covering one wall, but as it is, I just have to deal with what I've got and build onto my "studio" as I can afford it.
