Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Figure everybody could use a good laugh...

 

I remember having to physically smash my Adobe Photoshop install disk,
then photocopy the smashed disk to send back to Adobe to prove I
deserved a PC>Mac crossgrade. And that was a request from a big
corporation. I thought they were as crazy as the guy who photocopied
his floppy for you thought you were!
