I think you'll find Joe is annoyed= about adobe no longer updating flash on PPC macs, he has a point, as I foun= d out last year no one makes browsers for PPC macs either, Joe should actual= ly be pissed at apple, he wouldn't have this problem to anywhere near the sa= me extent if he owned a pc.

What you are complaining about, planned obsole= scence, is the basis of the whole computer industry.

If you have a working computer with a working piece of software, yan= k it off the Internet, freeze it in time and work it until the transistors m= elt. There's no one stopping you.

I have routinely waited and upgraded about every other t= ime Adobe or Apple thought I should. If I can afford the new thing and I fee= l that it will make me money I'll jump, otherwise I'll wait.

There's no law that says you have to buy the latest labo= r saving, gee whiz piece of software. So just save your money and use what i= s working for you.

That is rather heartless.
Then there are those of us who are m= oving on to other careers, that don't pay so well, but are more satisf= ying. We continue to do a bit of work, but it simply would not make se= nse to buy the newest and greatest when what we have is in fine working orde= r.

Maybe Adobe doesn't mean to be evil, but they could at least wait until= the economy is healthy before pulling what could only be called, in this ec= onomy, a bullying tactic.

Apple did an architecture shift for better performance, managed a "universal= " operating environment for 5 or 6 years, finally decides it's time to move o= n, and developers do the same...and this makes them evil?

Sheesh.
