How i broke up with Adobe

A rotten story, beautifully presented. This is Art, man and machine in harmony, explaining why *kof* certain people do not stop to experiment, to explore the open source universe, to boldly hack on where most people think they can buy their way out of RTFM. My story with Adobe is […]

the MAXX (1995)
