[Steve House]

Cover your ass by converting your valuable work to a standard format. Only dumb businesses don't insure their assets.

And keep it on some sort of storage repository that is in your physical control.  Using something as vaporous as a Cloud for mission-critical file storage is just begging for trouble

"....At my university a student could buy one of the suite packages for $360, and it could see them through their 4 year degree. Now they need to spend $360 every year for CC. Or else pay $600 for a CS6 suite, because Adobe very recently almost doubled the price of that....

This shows how unsure Adobe is about their bold move to CC and it actually tells us the new stuff is not the better deal...

Raising the price of old stuff is ridiculous...
