IMNSHO, the major point is that we have multiple ways of accomplishing
the
same tasks and reaching the same goals. In the end -- on paper or
projected
on a screen -- they all work. None is better or worse, they're just all
different. Is it Emacs or Vi? Xfce, Gnome, or KDE? One of the 200+
distributions? Who really cares? Perhaps some, but not me.
You're both correct, and I am grateful to learn from both of you how
you
use your tool of choice. Thank you very much for that.
Carpe weekend,

Many roads lead to Rome but that doesn't mean they all take
the same time to get there or are equally as free of bumps.

Lists a lot of drawing programs. The program I read most
recommended is OmniGraffle (4 Pro) which comes with Macs.
I'm also envious of BBedit.

Thank you for that link, Stephen. It looks like I'll find a lot of useful
stuff there. However, at least some of the information on it is incorrect.
For example, Dia has been available on Linux for *at least* 6 years, though
that webpage claims it's only available for Windows. People should probably
look in to each of those programs if they look at all interesting,
regardless of what OS they use.
