Hi Doren, That's very interesting! I've been an Applehead, (I own a bunch of DELL too) as in Dellhead since early 85. I was lucky enough to get some of ADBE's IPO in 86. From an advertising agency point of view, I can honestly say that both companies have been “berry, berry good” to me. My point: Your comment about PhotoDelux continues to reinforce my belief that Adobe (and others as well) see the writing on the wall. That Apple's share of the graphics market continues to diminish. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to trash Apple, but . . .

Ahemm! I have PhotoDeluxe™ on the Macintosh. It was bundled with something I bought. Can't remember what. A nice photo retouching program for idiots... uh... like me to play with. If you think that Apple is fading on the software front, it may be time for you to update your research. apple.com apple.com "In printing and prepress companies, Macs more likely than not are being used for grunt work: image retouching, scanning, generating PostScript or PDF, and imposing flats for plates or film. But prepress folks are only a fraction of the people in a printing company. Two or three times more people work on estimating, scheduling, planning, sales, and customer service, and in many cases, these people are on Windows-based PCs. Well, printing's best-kept secret is that you can find good business applications that do what their Windows-based counterparts do. And better." apple.com “Pre-engineering, structural engineering, load analysis, stress analysis, the fabrication and manufacture of parts, and even the bar-coding of each part so that the dome can be constructed properly,” says Castaño. “Are all on Mac.” And looking at the great and muscular expanse of dome tonnage rising above you, you're secretly quite glad. apple.com If I were doing all this on a PC, half of my creative options are suddenly not available. Gone. The Mac lets me be creative, without getting in the way. - Eugene Whang There's a lot more. Before you perpetuate a stereotype, check out the facts. HerbVic
