Carol & Susan...
do you also do your artwork and designing on your mac and then
slide it over to the Design Shop side? I run Macromedia Freehand
and Photoshop...usually just end up with vector lineart or I think jpg
is what Design shop likes but 95% of my work is vector.
Could easily add another mac to the line up here-putting a new
minimac (V 10.6) on line as soon as I get a monitor adaptor and I'm
wondering if that would run the windows you talk about...
would be so much easier to run design shop over here while I'm doing
artwork..

Hi Roland, this leads me to my next question - so far I don't do any
designing or artwork,
when I need something done I just get my child to do it. He just graduated
from
art school in the spring (industrial design, anyone have a job for him?) so
he is a real
genius with illustrator and all the other programs. However, I know he won't
be living in the
basement forever, so my question is which program to use. I know a lot of
people use Corel
Draw, however, since he uses illustrator and can start teaching me to use it
before he
heads on to his adult life, I figure that's the one for me to use.

So now please share with me everyone, your experiences with art programs to
use with DS.
I just discovered yesterday when trying to use autodigitize (basically
worthless as far as I
can tell) that you can click on a button to edit your artwork (using
whatever program you have)
while in the autodigitizing mode. This made me reflect on losing my "in
house designer" one of
these days.
