Would you be able to effectively use CC without such a high speed connection?

Natcherly. You're still working with installed clients/apps, and once installed, you can even work offline. The cloud component is for registration validation, updates, and file storage/sharing, etc.

Here's what got me - if you stop your subscription you will never be able to open your files without paying the minimum monthly charge to make the app available to you.

I don't know if my own reasoning makes sense in terms of how the technology changes. I was asked a few weeks ago if I could supply some PDF spreads of a book project from 2000. It was created in Quark …. I can't open it, Quark was made for Classic OS, the files are dead to me. And I can see this happening with my body of work produced in ID. Everything is saved to PDF now for proofing and review, but if source files are unavailable I'm stuck. At least now I'll have a DVD install of CS6 but who knows if that'll run in 5 years or so. Seems optical drives are dinosaurs, yet my entire design career is archived on DVDs.

I would back all of those up on a HD and zip lock it and put it away.

Yup. When I switch, I plan to keep CS6 on the bootable system clone on my external HD — just in case.

Everything backed up on Firewire drives …. which will need to be transfered to Thunderbolt drives … which will need to be transfered to --- …..

Those serial-ata drives in ziplock bags are going to do me a lot of good too when everything is SSD in a few years.

It's very frustrating to need to update the hardware that backs up files in outdated software that cannot be accessed. crazy

My understanding is that InDesign CS6 will not open inDesign CC files unless they're saved as InDesign Markup (IDML).

I take it back. She's a no 4 sale! frown

The Moto is 2.4 GHz, not enough signal strength to punch through the ceiling and walls between my office and my daughter's room. The Belkin has 2.4 and 5GHz. So it's back on line. Oh well...
