I think the earliest Adobe software that qualifies for an upgrade is =
CS3, released in spring 2007. If that's what you're still using, perhaps =
there's no reason for you to upgrade.=20

And I'm on DSL right now, through Sonic.net. A fast, reliable, and =
inexpensive connection. Downloading files from and uploading files to =
clients works fine. Maybe you can switch to them, or to another faster =
service. No need to a T3 line.

For me, the cloud will, I guess, become another monthly business expense =
like my mobile phone and internet service. Ya; a change; ya, I'm not =
totally comfortable with it yet; no, it's not the end of the world.=20

For hobbyists, I can see the concerns. For professionals, less so.

Uh, I think I'm repeating myself here...sorry.
