I’m pretty strong supporter of Adobe products or at least I think I must be because I have purchased Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects as well as upgrading each many times. I’m on my 4th or 5th iteration of photoshop at this point and after some quick and dirty math I think Adobe has gotten well over $5000 of my hard earned money over the years. These are all for my own personal use and because as a software engineer I think software piracy is just wrong. Even so that still hurts a tad.
Recently Adobe announced that they would be offering their software at rental subscription prices and I was excited! What a great idea!! But did they do it right? I don’t think so.. but they are so close!

I have discovered as I have gotten older, and more experienced in the ways of computing that I just don’t care what operating system I use. I’m a software guy — having said that, sometimes I feel that I need to give a particular OS a nod — and in this case, a piece of hardware too.
I have 2 main computers that I use at home (beyond my work laptop, my home server and my firewall proxy box).. One is my super uber game machine, and one is my catch all play around machine. The game machine is a windows box because I don’t have much choice — you want to play games, you use windows. Go Win-tendo!

Programming has always been a hobby of mine. I first started programming on the Commodore Vic-20 in 1983 after my father and I went to a “listen to our schpeal and get something for free” dinner; where we told them to take a hike and they gave us a Commodore Vic-20 as a thanks for coming gift. That was back in the days of hand assembling 6502 opcodes and calculating branch offsets in my head.. And I wonder why I’m brain damaged..

I’m so sick of religious debates.. And I’m not even talking about religion.. I’m talking about every nerds favorite argument.. which operating system is the best – which of course invariably leads into the bashing of Microsoft.. Microsoft is evil.. Bill Gates is the devil.. Windows sucks.. etc..
Why can’t people discussing intelligent software solutions from different paradigms agree to disagree on this point.. and move the hell on?!
