[QUOTE="pming, post: 7710062, member: 45197"] Hiya! Looks cool and I was on board up until the [I]"...will require a monthly subscription..."[/I] part. I already have more than enough monthly expenses. I can't "save up" for a monthly subscription...I can save up for a one-time fee of $100. I pay $10/mo for MODO Indie, another $20/mo for Substance Live, another $40/mo for Digital Tutors, and another $10/mo for something I can't remember at this second (...game related I think...[I]EDIT: Obsidian Portal; I have a $50'ish/year payment to them[/I]). So that's $80/month for subscriptions. I would have to add another $25+/mo if I was using Photoshop, which would be over $100/mo for "subscriptions". Every few months I add in Netflix for a month to binge-watch certain series or movies. So, unless the monthly sub is RIDICULOUSLY low (like, no more than $5/mo...tops), I'm out. Now, if they give an option to buy a "full year of total access for $75"...then I'll look into it. As I said, I can save up for that. But if it's each and every month, with no bulk-time purchase...then I'm out. :( Oh, yeah, I have to be able to save EVERYTHING/ANYTHING I want to PDF, RTF or some open-file format that I have full control over. If I can only view online or Print...again, I'm out. :( But, yearly-cost and full access to print/save/modify in various non-proprietary format and...I'm in! :) ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
