So today, I tried to use Acrobat Pro 9. I get the stupid "This was installed as part of a suite, please run one of the other applications in the suite first" message.
bad feelings start...this never ends well.
Okay, fire up Photoshop, I kind of needed to dick with it anyways...
"Licensing is not functioning"
oh
fuck
Pull up the Adobe tech note, do the multipart dance for this error...no good. Same error.
Okay, fine, AGAIN, I will pull up all the CS4 disk images, mount them ALL and repair the install. Last time, it only took me like an hour so I could use Acrobat Pro for 20 minutes.
Get done...nope. Same error.
Fuck-O-LA
Move all the Adobe stuff back to it's original install, even though I hadn't ever started most of it, and it had worked fine from my other folders in /Applications before.
AGAIN, I pull up all the CS4 disk images, mount them ALL and repair the install. Last time, it only took me like an hour so I could...get the same error and not get work done. This time, while it's running, I use GraphicConverter, 'cause at least that WORKS.
Get done...nope. Same error.
Okay, I'm fucking done. You know it takes a bit of meticulous work to manually erase Adobe shit from your system, but man, watching that space come back....that's some happy feelings there. Even better, realizing that the only thing you have on your system with "Adobe" in the name is a flash plugin.
God, that's so fucking hot.
Maybe one day, I'll be able to USE my LEGAL COPY OF CS 4 MASTER COLLECTION...I mean other than the installer.
Maybe one day, Adobe licensing won't suck balls.
Yeah...and I'll get to bang every one of my "Guilt-Free Three" in one night on a bed made of hundred dollar bills, on camera so I have proof.

If you want to use less-than or greater-than signs, or other similar characters that HTML reserves,
you'll simply have to learn to do it the HTML way. Luckily, HTML is kind of popular, no matter what
your re-educators have told you, and you can easily find help on the intertubes.
