This idea of using Distiller in Classic is annoying. What about all the station si just installed last week with Adobe Design Collection? How is my customer going to react at having to pay $100 just to get Distiller (the only app they really need right now)?

As for no version of Acrobat 6 being made of OS 9, I equate continuing to rely on Classic with my parents continuing to rely on their 8-track player: it works, but what's the point?

Why should they work for free to serve you? You knew it was coming. Why didn't you wait?

Why did your customer buy it then if that is the only app they really need?
Only in the software industry to people expect to be kept up to date for free. If you bought a car and found out a week later that the next year's model came with standard A/c, would you go back and expect it for free?
If $100 for an upgrade makes their life easier, doesn't it pay for itself then?
