RE: FLASH: Freehand or Illustrator?

[Gregory Landry]

In response to the comments below by Roger..As I said I work on NT. I have

NEVER had a problem with Corel Draw 7 or 8. I'm confused by the comment that

Corel Draw is "ugly and clunks." Anyway, I would suggest that someone try

Corel Draw 8 if they are working on a Win machine. Then make a judgement.

My understanding that the Mac version is behind the Win version as was

Illustrator when it first came on for the Win machines.

Corel Draw is loaded with features. Yes, it may seem overwhelming at times

but those features can be wonderful for the vector artist.

I am neither a Win advocate or a Mac advocate. I use NT as I said for Max. I

would hope that no one here closes their minds to software that MAY be very

valuable in enhancing their talent.

Peace,
