I could not disagree more with that assessment of 'software leasing' in general and Adobe in particular. For $32.01 per month for the entire Creative Cloud applications with 100GB storage. Since you are allowed two active instances, that effectively works out to $16 per month. That is less than my petty cash fund. Also, you receive all updates as they are released free of charge. When you consider that purchasing all of Adobe's Cloud applications would cost over $2000, and then finding yourself with software that will soon be out of date, I consider this a steal. I think the problem is that all too many individuals believe everything should be free, except of course their own time and labor. I work for a living and expect to be paid. I have no problem with others thinking the same way. I am not a socialist who wants something for nothing. Nothing is more expensive than "free". -- Jerry
