Hi Gang,

I wasn’t on the forum when CS was announced, and only got my copy much later. I’m wondering if there were as many problems and complaints here with CS as there seems to be with CS2. CS worked just fine "out of the box" on my machine, and the only problem I had to deal with was finding and setting the correct memory allocation for the program. It looks like CS2 may have more problems than CS did. Would that be a fair assesment?

I’d like to upgrade to CS2 but not if I’m going to have to change hardware, or have to fight what seems to be a lot of problems.

Well, correct me if I’m wrong, but the recent list of fixes in the Adobe Announcments e-mail is the largest and earliest mailing I have ever seen.

How do I get to see that email? Is there a subscription required for it or are the announcements posted somewhere?

Thanks!
