Re: Inflation

let me just be clear here. While I always want more from software, I think Adobe has done an incredible job. On so many levels, they have listened to their customers' needs. And while they couldn't address everything people wanted, they've given us a very power package.

I hate paying money for anything, but I don't feel nearly as bad about this upgrade as I do for other companies that make MINOR imporvements and charge you an arm and a leg. And you have to buy those just to be able to exchange files.

Yeah, it would be great if adobe only charged us a few bucks for the upgrade, but being realistic, it's a good proce for an upgrade on not one but 4 (or more, depending) great products! And the changes the've made are not minor. There are several new features comperable to plugins that each cost almost as much as the upgrade price for the entire Production Studio package!

I'll tell you what i tell my students when they ask why they should need to buy things like big hard drives - professional multimedia is not for people not willing to spend money - You can make a lot of money at it, and if you feel it's not worth the money then don't do it. That said, while adobe isn;t giving it away, this is a fair price for some good software.
