Hi there, the companies I've worked at and later in my career, I personally have always used Adobe products. Always paid for all the software I used over the years and updated regularly. Now I find myself the victim of an unfortunate accident that has left me with what seems to be permanent brain injury. In spite of several years of therapy so far, I am no longer able to work as a creative director/designer..

I still have hopes that I might one day recover enough to return to work, but as of the last 5 years I have been unable to hold a job. Given my limited income I can't afford the new CC rates, but I still love to do personal (non-profit) projects for myself. I run CS6.5 on my old work computer, but time is running out for it. When it dies my circumstances probably won't have changed, and I still won't be able to afford CC rates.

Could Adobe not create a Retired/Disable category of pricing? There are so many of us that supported your company, for years, could you not give us a break now when we can no longer afford professional pricing?
