This assumes you always upgrade. I know plenty of people who skip a version. CS4 and CS5 are unstable enough that I have heard MANY designers recommend sticking with CS3 ever today. At home I have a very old version of Photoshop I paid for years ago. Version 7 I think? I open it maybe 3 times a year. If I'd subscribed I would not have that option. Not for everyone, but it's a common case. It will be interesting to see how successful this model is. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc http://www.sumoc.com --- cell: 678.637.5072 aim: cameroncf email: cameronc@gmai ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:336239 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
