still a monopoly!

I think given the way Adobe price their products, there is with out a doubt a monopoly in play here. What other company do you know that prices their products so highly for software with such a large market? Microsoft don't even dare to charge so much!

looking back

Looking back on the merger, it seems that the negatives have faded into the past. The value of their products has risen, and I'm satisfied.

mono-ply

of coarse, of time, comes the monopoly. Adobe has the best stuff there is no comparison; but should there be when its the industry standard and always have been, as you know they aquired all the rest of macromedia for their own and made it for compatability. Personally, Ive always been down for it. There is no comparison; i.e. as an example as photoshop, and that is what is up, best thing in the world. One day maybe someone will come and create something as good or better. but as far as adobe; I love that shit.
who could come to compare. Unless you know of an interface with everything you could EVER want/need to create what you want.
bse.
p.s
macs as well.
p.c.'s are a thing of the past.
