I was told a while ago that I would regret signing up for subscription. That person, long gone from the forum might've been right. I've had it for about 2 years, they gave me a three month freebie when I went to cancel it so it's been about $170 in total. Now I want my own version that doesn't phone home, just in case Adobe starting doing what you said. 10 bucks a month isn't much but all those subscriptions, phone service, et al...I just want to decrease the output of green and not think about it. None of my apps have been affected but Microsoft rules computerland. Apple doesn't like 32 bit Items? I'm surprised!
