I guess if I bought a new camera I might have to buy a new Aftershot Pro to get RAW support, but aside from that, I have PSP 5 and 16, and most of the time I don't even need the latter. |

I don't find that I'm missing functionality. you don't do anything beyond the basics, so for you, the free stuff is fine. other people have more sophisticated needs and therefore can justify more advanced apps. |

Being mean to people is not a game. It's just being mean. You demean yourself and coarsen your own sensibility, regardless of whether it bothers the target. |

He's a utopian socialist. Probably doesn't have to work for a living. The sad part is that the socialists usually turn out to be the most selfish capitalists once they get used to having a job. He does have a point, though. Not everyone agreed in the early days that software should be copyrightable. I found it very inspiring, back in the 90s, that so many people were setting up websites and just offering whatever they could to "chip in". Lots of free information and software. I did the same thing. Set up a website and gave away things that others might find useful. I still do. And most of the software I use is free, written by someone who does it for the love of it. Also, I get free information almost daily, often provided by some anonymous person who was just trying to be helpful. nospam called me a "mooch" for using wikimedia, but that's what it's there for. Thousands of generous people have made it possible. The same is true of wikipedia. And Craigslist. They're all great examples of sharing and improving peoples' lives with the Internet. One could just as well say it's mooching to get free info online. Yet we all do that. Which is not to say I think PS should be free. The GIMP and Linux are good examples of the limits of free. Free products are not so likely to be polished and user-friendly, because the authors don't need to satisfy customers. I see a large difference between using another's work product, with their consent, and without their consent. If I have a software, or hardware issue and ask, if I receive an answer, in a user forum, such as this, or the Adobe community,the person responding does not expect to be paid, I feel an obligation to help someone, if I have sufficient knowledge to give what I think is a helpful answer. -- PeterN |

Yet some got very insulted when I mentioned I called Apple Support, instead of them. Also in my capacity as a stockholder, I love Appleseeds. They have made me and my daughters, a lot of money. -- PeterN |

Intent on the part of the user of the term, and how it is received by the individual addressed are going to be the determining factors as to whether, or not the usage is derogatory.When I see Appleseed used, my first thought is that it is intended to be derogatory, and provocative. Appleseed is not a term used by users of Apple products to describe themselves. It is a term used by non-Apple users to label Apple users. While you might not have intended your usage to be derogatory, you have used it to segregate/differentiate yourself from Apple users, and to establish your standing as somebody who uses a different OS (...and I know you own and use an iphone).If I were you I would stop calling your friends Appleseeds regardless of how good APPL has been for you. In the case of Mayayana, and his anti-Apple bias, his usage of Appleseed is undoubtably, and intentionally derogatory. He has a similar anti-Adobe bias. -- Regards, Savageduck |
