Just a comment on Cowpland's statement on retail stores being sold out. I have recently been in a number of computer stores in the Toronto area ( Computer city, Business depot etc.) & yes they do have sold out signs on the shelves. Temporarily out of stock etc. I know that stores not having stock on the shelves to sell is a funny sign of encouragement but I guess it beats having crates out in the warehouse of slow moving mechandise.

Vector images for the Web seems like it could be a big deal...and a "Band Wagon" Corel should be on for once. From the past couple of days: Macromedia Seeks Standard With Open Flash ..looking to make its Flash animation format for Web pages an Internet standard, said Tuesday it will open the format to other software developers. The Flash format is used to draw vector graphic animations on a Web page. Like Macromedia's (company profile) popular Shockwave format, Flash requires a plug-in to the browser. techweb.com Adobe Moves Into Web Imaging Adobe, Netscape, and IBM say they have the format to popularize vector graphics on the Web -- the Precision Graphics Markup Language, or PGML. The companies have pitched the language to the World Wide Web Consortium as an open specification for vector graphics. ...Comparing it to Flash, Adobe's director of Web authoring products emphasized this XML basis for the language. "[Flash] is more of a binary kind of format, and not as easily readable," said Ted Simonides. "PGML is controllable through XML -- a future direction we expect to be more widely supported." wired.com
