Companies are GREEDY

Not only did Adobe try to change their plan options, they just sent something out threatening customers who are using older versions of Photoshop...sadly, this was irritating, but rather normal these days.  Yeah, it's annoying, but it's pretty typical these days.  Adobe is greedy enough, but now I just heard about CANON doing something a...
