re: #257 Jay C
I know.
My main reason(s) for holding on to my old Dell are:
1. I have MS Office/Word (2013) on it with years of documents (and have been trying to avoid having to pay for the new version)
2. I have over 40,000 games of Solitaire recorded on the old After Dark Games, and hate having to lose them (ADG was near-obsolete even in ‘13, and a PITA to port over to W7).
I hear ya. I had a death grip on Adobe Creative Suite CS5 for literally 10 years. Most of the work I do can be done in there. It finally got to the point where I was getting too many jobs from clients who were in Creative Cloud natively, and had to pony up.
I fucking despise the software rental model.
