I wasn't aware of that, Todd.  I didn't pay attention to what others =
were paying.  Perhaps I got a special rate for being a long term =
customer.

Anyway=85 as I said, it's not outrageous at $600/year for all those =
apps, even though that's about twice what I was used to paying to stay =
current with Production Premium CS. =20

I'm also paying for a lot of apps that I don't use.  That's like my =
health insurance going up to cover people who use services I don't.  I'm =
sure not going to start building web sites just because the software to =
do it is available in my bundle.

If it's not unrealistic, I'd rather Adobe offered tiered services, and =
had a bundle like Production Premium at a lesser rate.  Or, some sort of =
pro-rata pricing that's based on the software I use on a regular basis.  =
I just counted 14 apps I don't think I'll ever use.
