So you would ditch Adobe's tools for these? You would happily use these to recreate your game on a Linux machine? I doubt that. But it's all we can assume that "our" kids, teachers, and developers have. Are you sure you're not treating them as second-class citizens? Do they have the same privileges in creating and modifying things as you enjoy? - Bert - _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
