Saw this on the alt.graphics.photoshop newsgroup…. think you guys may get a good laugh out of it 🙂
(With apologies to Bryce – was too good not to share it.)
Open quote ===========================
So there I was at home in the computer room. I’m at my primary computer, and my "secondary computer" (as defined by Adobe) is behind me across the room at the other desk. My wife comes in and sits down at my "secondary computer" and is reading an email on her identity in Outlook Express (only one user account on the XP machine there, but two identities in outlook express). Her friend sends her a picture through means of email and she opens it up. It’s a pretty silly looking picture. She giggles. She wants to make it look even sillier. She calls in our daughter to have fun with the picture. She tells me she is going to do that.
She tells me she is going to do that with PHOTOSHOP! (scary, low background music)
DAMN I FREAK!!! "NOOOOO…. you can’t do that", I say. (as she’s opening up PS CS on my "secondary machine") I say, "don’t let that app open until I’ve got this one shut down!!!!! – watch out!!!!!) She is terrified. My daughter begins to cry as my anger turns up a couple notches. If that opens up before this is shut down, AND I’m not the main user, you will be in BIG, BIG trouble, I say. She is totally freaking out at my red, puffed up face and bulging veins in my neck… I’m pulling her away from the computer with my left hand, kicking my daughter in the hip with my right foot, as my right hand fights it’s way into the top desk drawer pulling out the Product License Agreement for PS CS. "Look!!", I say. "the secondary computer is RESTRICTED to the main user who licensed the software!!!" "Don’t you get it????" "Are you trying to get me put in jail or something???"
As I’m kickin’ ’em both away from the computer, the dog jumps in on my side and begins kicking my wife’s and daughter’s asses. (Thank you Pico!) Later that night, as I’m tending to my fingernail wounds on my arms and face, bite marks from my daughter on my ankles and legs, and after the cops have gone back to the station, I tell mself that it was all worth it. I would truly do it all again. Nothing….. I mean NOTHING will come in the way of my legal obligations to Adobe. Not my marriage. Not my daugther… NOTHING!!!!
Yes. I am a true loyal Adobe customer. I am true to the cause. "I" am the licensee; not her. I vow to NEVER let a soul open that app while I’m using it on the primary station.
God Damnit Adobe…. I say unto you: "To death till us part."
