I use a lot of personalized cards made on the computer, especially now that we have replaced our old slow printer with one much faster. Of course, I typically use Hallmark Card Studio 2 Deluxe :-) I haven't tried the new "2003" edition yet, although I heard it's getting... less than stellar reviews on Amazon :-( I'll probably just stick to the one I currently have.I don't worry about who made the card. In fact, I find homemade-on-the-computer cards to be the best. (But someone doesn't share that sentiment - I remember reading a letter to Dear Abby where someone's great-aunt or grandmother or something like that practically wanted to disown him because he'd put time into making a very nice personalized card for her rather than spending money on a store-bought card. I found that attitude to be *extremely* tacky.)
By the way, I'll be getting to your questions about Hallmark employees soon, Julia. I'm still gathering some data.
