it's not going to happen

sadly

Adobe seem to have forgotten what "customer" means

this is what happens when one company get the lions share - microsoft, google

they don't give a crap because no-one has a choice

the only choice we do have is to just refuse to stop using FH as it is. My
version is still working quite happily - and I can do everything I want to do
with it.

Do I need more bells and whistles? No - not really

Do I need extra speed? It would be nice but it's not truly necessary.

Over they years there have been one or two really important changes - like the
multiple pages that appeared from FH3 to FH5.5 (that was a significant upgrade
- we stopped using Quark - HOORAY)

and there's the master pages thing - which s really helpful.

but right now there isn't really that much I feel is missing from what I've
got - so unless there's a really really good reason to switch I wont.

the only problem I have in real terms is not within my company or my own
workflow but rather from others who are using AI or Indy. I inherit a file and
not only do I have to have the same program to be able to open it I also have
to have the latest version. People that are sending me files in Indy CS3 don't
impress me - they might think they do, but they are wrong.

all they are doing is Adobe's dirty work - pushing us all to buy the latest
upgrade an switch from programs we love to ones they want us to use.

Is it fair? No

can we stop it? No

have I ranted enough yet? Actually you got there a while ago.....
