Wotcha Weaver Linux. I don't think so Mike. Macs are highly developed, I think it'll be awhile before I could do with Linux what I do with a Mac, and as easily and quickly. I'm sure I'll get arguments from the Linux freaks, but I'm on your side, I don't think Macs and Linux are in

Keith, I have to agree with you that Linux is possibly not yet for every desktop. I have used Linux for 6 years now. It has a tremendous support network (much better than its commercial competitors.) There are some jobs that are handled differently to the M$ product, unfortunately it is a

Actually, Mac OSX is really just UNIX, in the form of tweaked FreeBSD. All the Adobe stuff would run on Linux as well as they run on OSX, but Adobe (I suspect due the the not so gentle prodding of MS and perhaps Apple) has chosen not too release Linux versions. Anyting that runs on OSX would

It's getting hard to keep the old OS9 stuff running as they don't release anything new for it. I have some programs running in emulation mode - poky but works - the more memory the better. I run an old 400 mhz G4 w/ SCSI and 2 GB on the board. Not blazing but I like it. Ugly enough I have

Keith, You might like to download the 30-day eval copy of this converter: http://www.processtext.com/abcvisio.html which converts visio vector graphics drawings to many image or pdf formats. As far as I can see, it installs and runs fine, but I couldn't find a visio file to try it out. Cheers.
