🐌 That spinning beachball when using "Blend" on complex paths. 💾 Saving down to version 8 for old-school print shops.

Remember the days of the "smooth cursor," Live Corners, and the first time you saw the in action? 🤯
Unlike today’s monthly-only model, many CC 2014 users were on perpetual licenses (via the original Creative Cloud launch). You installed it, it worked, and Adobe didn’t phone home every 24 hours.
