Okay...
I have CS3, as well as a really old version of Dreamweaver that I dig out when I need it. That is point of this post. I looked at what Adobe has to offer for a "casual" user like me. They're offering an individual plan for ~$30.00USD/month. I occasionally use Illustrator (mainly when I need to pull a graphic of some sort into Solidworks), Photoshop maybe a couple of times a month (not nearly as much as I did when I was doing more photography and rendering - ahhh... to be back to the days of rendering every day, but I digress). $360/year isn't a ton of money, but I can't help having a visceral "knee jerk" reaction to be paying for something every month that I might use a couple of times. Have you guys bought into the cloud version? Do you feel like it's worth it? I think I paid something like ~$400-500 many years ago. If I was still using it on a daily basis, hell, when I was using it every day, it's paid for itself over 100 times. This is the lease vs. buy for cars...

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" but "That's funny ..."
