Photoshop after somewhere between maybe 5 and CS2?

Office after maybe 2000?

CentOS after 8

Yeah CS2 was the peak to me, I started using it again maybe a year ago instead of their recent slop. Works even better with modern processors, back in the mid '00s it seemed to lag on everything but the first Mac Pro. And Adobe publicly published serial numbers when they shut down the activation servers, if you can get your hands on a copy of the install discs.

Our poor representation is an extreme outlier among OECD countries:

Nordic countries have similar representation to the U.S. in the early 1800s.

Though virtual, Colonial Americans had better representation in Parliament.

We don't currently surface that info

Please consider exposing where the products are actually made.

No business case for me here without country of origin labeling, and on the consumer side I only buy from online retailers that include where their products are made, e.g. officesupply.com

There was a giant Pacific octopus at the aquarium in Boston but it appears he passed in '21.

I'm in Maine but the last octopus I saw was in Salt Lake City.
