Legitmate is the only answer ;). We must use what we must. I know what
you are talking about though. I will be happy when either some genius
makes vector graphics a reality on Linux as OSS software or proprietory
Adobe either opens their source or makes a Linux Version. On the
meantime it is up to us to stuggle. I force myself to use OSS only
because I am not in the situation where I can afford Adobe or Macromedia
software.

Heh. Someone needs to make an offer Macromedia can't refuse to port it
to Linux. Then you can get rid of this VMWARE stuff. Oh and that
Wintendo thing...

| Adobe Illustrator I will dump VMware because Crossover Office is so much

I feel your pain. Please list all the features that it has that Sodipodi
etc needs to get you to stop using it. Details please ;) Everything...

| tried. The slicing tool is a great time saver too.

Agreed. Gimp is much better. Especially when you get used to the right
click menu.

| I have an ADB Wacom tablet on the Mac (don't ask...) for quick sketching
| and an old HP SCSI scanner.

I have one of those Wacom things... I hate it. After I got my laptop the
touch pad is much more intuitive...

| All this will be replaced by USB on Linux ASAP

Super!
