My fault for reading it as snarky. You're right, of course. This is what I get for forum-ing in a bad mood.
I'm still a little annoyed that I need to have nearly nearly 100gigs of Adobe suite on my machine just to be able to use certain plugins I like or open old files I need to revisit. Especially since I just went SSD and was not anticipating this. That's no reason to take it out on you.
