Yep! It's a "devine" plan to make $$$. I had a Subaru phone app to start my
car, it no longer works. Why? because they upgraded their app no backwards
compatible with my phone OS so... I need a new phone. There is nothing wrong
with my phone the way it is. This is just a a token of other things similar.
I'm putzing with Linux now because the Windows thing is too overwhelming. My
wife is a landscape architect and uses Adobe Photoshop. I heard her cursing
the other day as her education subscription expired and she is having to
download and updated version to draw a property plan. I know she pays for
this periodically and never owns it. At least she can deduct it from her
business expenses somehow...
