*edit* is it me, or are the new CS5 icons utter pants?

# Indeed they are.
Utter Pants Icon Design are very proud of their work, I'll have you know.

# It's where the money is
This piece of 'strategic marketplace repositioning' cost around 11 million, so I hear:

# oh yes - that was the worst rebrand ever - it was truly awful
and then they became Santander - so they rebranded again

I've been with the Abbey for 18 years now - it's a rubbish bank and is getting worse

they've just changed their charges now, so instead of being charged £6.18 a month for being overdrawn - I'll be charged a flat £10 -"just to make things clearer"

# Interesting use of the word 'clearer'.
When 'substantially more expensive' would be nearer the mark.

# I like the idea of being sent a text just before you go over your overdraft
but seriously - the "until 3pm overdraft amnesty" is a good idea

# I only upgraded from 7 four months ago :)
My personal philosophy (apply this as you will to software, mobile phones, cars etc): IF IT DOES THE JOB, THEN YOU DON'T NEED A NEW ONE!

# but if your clients keep sending you artwork created in the very latest version
you have to keep up

(really only applies to InDesign and Illustrator)

# it is the utter filth
that is office 2007, a product so vile someone at microsoft should have executed the entire development team.
2003 worked ok, why fuck it up and make it unusable for everyone?

# ^ this with bells on.
Awful, awful program with no new functionality. Purely to make a quick buck. Uninstalled it from my new work laptop and put 2003 back on. I couldn't be arsed to wait to download the plugin for back-compatibility, so I just use Open Office to open them. I much prefer Open Office, just a shame so few people use it. It's free, FFS...

that is completely proprietorial. Bless their little cotton socks.

# The only reason I upgraded in the end
it didn't look very professional me asking people to back-save things all the time :(

# exactly
can you backsave please -we don't have CS5


er - can you backsave again please -I can't open CS4 docs...

Also now got Office 2011 - so the .docx .xlsx .pptx issues are a thing of the past

*edit* I've not used brushes yet as I keep forgetting I've got CS5 and defaulting to CS3 - WTF? I concur - they look like makeup brushes!
