    These are user to user forums so if you want to send a letter like you just posted to Adobe you should seek out a mailing address and send it that way.

    Unfortunately, the mindset of folks who create computers and the software that runs on them is not driven by a goal of making machines that support every piece of software ever written.

    Chances are the only way you will get the software to install will be to dust off the machine that you originally had it installed on and fire it up.

    You might notice we don't do trips to the moon anymore either and it only took 3 years for such trips to become obsolete.

    To whom it may concern,

    I'm not sure how unique my situation is but let me briefly explain.  In a prior life I was a photographer (about 12 years ago).  At that time I had purchased Photoshop and upgraded it a couple of times.  When I stopped photographing I was up to photoshop 5 with the CD and appropriate serial numbers.  Recently I decided to get back to photography and went to install Photoshop 5 on my computer (MacBook Pro) but it was not compatible.  What can I do to use it.  I do not really want a newer version especially at full cost.  My first preference is to somehow install Photoshop 5 even if there was some cost to the adaptation process.  If this is not possible (hard to believe, as we've put men on the moon) then at some compromise cost I am willing to upgrade.  But again, this is not my first choice.  As I completely understand that you would not want to allow customers to skip numbers of additions at a fixed upgrade cost, you must understand that I really don't want or need the current version.  I simply want to be able to use what I have purchased, even if it is out-dated. 

    I look forward to hearing from you, as I would like to solve this issue legitimately.

    Sincerely,

    Erik Simmons

    Your old versions won't work on any current version of OSX. The required PPC code has long been declared dead by Apple. If you want to spend money and get a compatible version, simply get a subscription for 20 or 30 bucks a month and you will have CS6 with all the bells and whistles.
