Dear Adobe…

Hi Adobe. How are you doing today? Hope you are fine. I am NOT fine. I’ve been sitting here for about, oh, say 3 hours now. I’m trying to install Adobe CS3 Web Standard, and I’m really enjoying reading this little fancy Workflow Guide booklet. I’m reading this because I can’t do anything else… No Outlook, no FireFox, no IE… But hey, Notepad works!

Why does it take 1 hour to install “Shared Components”, only for the installer to finish, but tell me no items were installed aside from the Flash Video Converter?

Why do I have to run “cleanscript” over and over as you find new files each time you think you need to delete? Even though I’ve never had Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash installed? (Aside from the Flash Player plugin.)

Remove Adobe Acrobat 8? Why?

Why would I need to un-install Flash Player 9, then install Flash Player 8 in order for you to remove it and install Flash Player 9 over it?

Hecatomb is not happy with the $1,000 software purchase. (Good thing the job paid for it.)

OK Adobe, I’m really sorry I bit your head off there… I didn’t really mean it. It’s just been a long day and I’m going through a bit of a caffeine withdrawal, and I haven’t had lunch either. So I’m just a bit grumpy…

Alright, we’re all installed now… Looking good… Sorry again Adobe, I guess I just have to learn to be patient with you.

Activation?

You…
