    Honestly, it sucked. Like most computing at the time. Everything came on a ton of floppy disks, it was impossible to update online unless you had a good connection (which nobody did), and you had to do everything by hand, including compiling a lot of stuff which took forever. I mean, I’m glad I got the experience, but I would never wanna go back to that. It sucked.

    What has Adobe done to fuel my creativity? 25 years of copyright protection on their apps. And in all of that time, I have never paid to use a legit version of their most current app. Why? Because their DRM is overengineered and full of weaknesses that can easily be exploited by even the most novice user. Their paranoia combined with their incompetence has saved me tens of thousands of dollars over the decades.

    Thanks Adobe!
