[Framers] Adobe licensing is migrating to subscription based

[Lin Sims]

Adobe still does the 30-day trial.

I know because despite my company having a subscription, the only way I
could download the installation program was to fill out that stupid form.
Someone at Adobe doesn't like updating the FM associated websites and links.

There are quite a few trainers out there. Barb Binder and Matt Sullivan are
two of them. I think Shlomo Peretz still does some training, but I also
think he's semi-retired. I could be wrong about that.
