I was, of course, just teasing, and not attempting to make a logical statement!
I’m in a more fortunate state, Adobe software wise. I am Adobe Community Professional, MVP in their forums (it’s debatable what the letters stand for, but most likely Most Valuable Participant), and I’m a moderator in the Adobe forums too. As part of being ACP they give me a CC subscription. I’m also on a few prerelease lists too. The Illustrator I used was the currently available latest version, but I do have versions more recent than that, which also have significant SVG related new features. But I can’t tell you about those. I should send over an export from Flash Pro too, that can do quite elaborate illustrations and export them to SVG. > On Oct 18, 2015, at 1:25 PM, Richmond <richmondmathew...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 18/10/15 20:02, Colin Holgate wrote: >> Well, who is? > > I am sure I am not the only person "out there" who: > > 1.
