Lol, I couldn't go back to homepage (need good site management) but you have
a solid app. Back in the day (like golive 2.0) I'd use golive for everything
EXCEPT tables which just rocked in homepage.

I think something is wrong though... It should NOT take 5 minutes to load on
your TiBook. I have a beige g3 I run it on sometimes when I'm at that place,
and it loads in a few minutes (266mhz). Contact me off the list if you like
and I can possibly help figure out whats going on with your version. :)

One thing to do is check ebay... You can probably get a v5.5 (which is a
GOOD update app) for pretty cheap. Or even 6.0... For all its faults, it is
a solid program and its text abilities and layer groupings are really
helpful (although layer effects are just weird now).

Elements isn't supposed to be the end-all and be all... The problem is it
doesn't really know what it's supposed to be, which is part of why I've been
shaking my head at adobe lately and their (lack) of understandings of the
current market as they have no answer to fireworks, the program that is
really, really killing their marketshare as the web becomes more important
and many print shops are being asked to do both.

As a bundled app that comes with a scanner, its great. More than anything
really competing against corel photopaint. Hell, it would be competing
against the likes of graphic converter if it didn't have layer support. :)

For more than basic web graphics or the above, its not really worth it as
the amount of copies its selling show (I don�t have the pcdata numbers in
front of me, but they are NOT good... Especially for the whole big design
suite they sell... They sold something like 6 units in a month).
