Wow. I find your responses to be pretty condescending.
The programs which you have called 'dead' are still available to those of us who don't have thousands to spend on them and/ or don't work for Adobe (or ADPs like yourself). Even if Adobe doesn't sell them or let you get help for them over the phone, you shouldn't ruin people's hopes of getting genuine answers by bombing their threads like this. Creative Suite lives! People use it all the time (and still buy it - sshhh!)
Going forward, I'll spend more hours trying to find out which 'dead' program suits my needs best. And, Ill make it work (see youtube).
Thanks for nothing.
