Finally something I actually do know a little about. I played with the Draw program and used it to make guitar chord diagrams for instructional handouts. That's not much experience but I did get to grouping and ungrouping a collection of graphic elements. I also figured out how to make objects line up in finer and coarser grids so that stuff gets put halfway between other stuff. I don't know how useful that may be.
<br>
<br>I have to admit that I used it on M$Windows too, but more likely Win98SE or 2000. That might change if I could buy a bridge cheap...that's an 802.11b bridge.
