Adobe offers a nice educator/student discount, which I used. I pay annually with the discount, and consider it very reasonable since I use it in business. I, too, am like Emily and don't like to update frequently and just 20 less things to think about :) I have Sierra OS on my desk, and the High Sierra on the laptop... I wanted to wait to let them get the kinks out of High Sierra before I switched on my desktop. But things are working fine. Best cheer, Linda ____________________________ Linda M.
