[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 797525, member: 25095"] I absolutely understand both sides of the discussion here. For my day job, I stay fairly refreshed on Apple hardware since access to newer WiFi functionality like 802.11ac typically requires the latest hardware. That latest hardware usually drives a minimum OSX release which will likely keep me from being able to run older versions of the OS. The home Mac Pro sets my lower OS limit right now which is 10.9.1 if I remember right. Likewise, while I do have an upgraded iCloud account, I don't have any desire to pay those storage prices for keeping even my finished pics in the cloud. It's just not cost effective for me, and I can access the home office storage a couple different ways from the road if the need arises where I need to pull down some archived RAW files to work on unexpectedly. I still have a few projects that I started in Aperture, so will continue to sort through those, but after that I suspect I'll start looking at alternatives in parallel to what I'm doing with Aperture. I agree with Ron though, while the Adobe pricing is ok by my budget today, my fear is that as competitive drops away, this option too becomes unwieldy and too expensive at some point and I'm once again back in the hunt.
