Digital BW, The Print

I was being kind when I said they might be trustworthy Ben. To set the 
record straight, their cc software doesn't do automatic updates. You have to 
download and install them, just as before. Once installed on your system, 
you need not connect to them again except once a month to verify that you're 
a paid subscriber, so internet connections that go do from time to time 
aren't a concern at all. I agree with everything else you said, yet I'm 
trying it out for the 9.99 a month.

J.C.,

I will not call Adobe an honorable company, nor would I trust them with my 
credit information.

I had a problem a few years ago when the neutral for my electrical service 
corroded at the utilities buss.  The voltage on my service went up to 148 
volts!  Surge protectors do not work when there is that type of malfunction. 
It fried five hard drives, including the ones with my apps on them.  Adobe 
was the only software company that would not reset my licenses so I could 
reload my programs.  I had to buy upgrades for all my Adobe programs to use 
the reinstalled programs.  It was so kind of them.

I do not trust any company to make automatic withdraws from my bank 
accounts, nor make automatic charges to my credit cards.  I just got done 
activating a new credit card account because the old account had been 
hacked.  The funny thing is that it was the account which was on file with 
Adobe because I had to pay them for those new program upgrades.  I am 
wondering if the new card was necessary because of their accounts being 
hacked a few months ago?

No!  I am not at all interested in the creative cloud.  Internet service is 
not good enough here to need to depend on it.  Just last week, the Internet 
service was so poor here, that Safari was timing out before even simple 
email loaded.  It was like that for a week.

I also do not want any automatic updates done to my programs.  I lost all my 
good Epson printer drivers due to Apple's automatic upgrades.  I have not 
been able to replace Some of the drivers.  The printer drivers that Apple 
use as replacements my be fine for the office, but are totally worthless 
when working with fine prints.

Lastly, the computers, and accessories that I am using are old.  The economy 
of the last dozen years has been hard on me.  I can not afford to upgrade 
anything!  Must new programs need better computers, better operating 
systems, and newer accessories.  This is going to keep my head out of 
Adobe's Cloud.
