    It's not even so much the $ that makes the difference for me. I'd be willing now and then to pay for commercial software, if they would take my money and hand me the software. If I didn't know full well that by paying them for it I am volunteering for the kind of headaches Mendel is having.

    The other Oddity about older Photoshop/ adobe acrobat versions is that they no longer support it anywa.

    That's sort of my point. I kind of doubt that anybody bothered to check whether these old versions would be swept up in a remote shutdown, because it's old and abandoned.

    I mean think about it, if the last meaningful revenue you got from your customer was ...13 years ago? are they still really a customer you need to care about? Of course, they need to honor the license they wrote, but that's all.

    A few hours later, with firewall rules blocking incoming/outgoing communication by Acrobat and Photoshop, both are working as usual, no pop-ups. And they seem to be starting up faster as well.

    I'm not complacent though; if this is a widely publicized hack, they get wind of it, and... Wait a sec.

    It is goofy though; I spent close to a grand on these two.

    Living overseas may have oddly different foods but it’s what comes in or on the foods that can be a real local experience.
