Ah, so we know who to hit up for copies of shit that literally costs 
more than a damn car, but only does about 10% (of really critical stuff) 
more than its inadequate competition can manage. ;) lol

Kidding, but Adobe, among others, are *excellent* examples, imho, of 
what is wrong with *not* having cheaper versions, for people that need 
some of the functionality of a product, but can't afford the full blown 
Lear Jet version... Some day, I hope to have Rhino, but short of having 
it fall out of the sky into my lap, that isn't going to happen. I do 
have Photoshop now, but.. god was that a hit in the wallet. I would have 
been better off sticking with the "mostly" similar Paintshop Pro, or 
even trying to get Gimp to make some sort of sense. lol
