Godfrey,
I appreciate the technical insights you provide every so often on the
issues discussed.
Sorry, I couldn't help but parody your previous response here.
My parody was not in contradiction, but just in projecting the customer's
perspective. And it wasn't a reflection on you, but rather on the
recent trend in the consumer services' industry in general, and
Adobe in particular.
1. Your response reminded me of the response I've heard recently
*N* too many times from some corporate customer services. They admit that
their system (product, etc.) is not working properly, but then say they
wouldn't not be able to do the things right, giving me details of their
idiosyncratic system (e.g. they are unable to communicate with
another department of theirs, or "their computer doesn't allow them doing"
what's right). I usually tell them that my pen's design prevents it from
writing that company's name on a check, and that I hope they'd agree it is
a good reason for not paying for their services.
2. In addition, I am rather tired of Adobe's own and fun-boy-advocates
such as Scott Kelby arrogantly ASSuming that LR users must be upgrading
their computers every 2 years.
3. Finally, - during the week that followed the release of LR-6.0, I spoke
with the customer support of Adobe, and they assured me that the
stand-alone version of the installation (suitable for a free trial) will
be made available again soon, after they'd fix some errors in it. And that
has never happened.
Again, sorry, Godfrey, the main aim of my response was Adobe.

... And if I am not needing both PS and LR, the cost analysis clearly shows
that a standalone LR is much cheaper than CC.
No need to be snarky: I didn't say otherwise. I haven't used PS much in
recent years either, which is why I have a perpetual license for LR and
continue to use an old version of PS.
