If anyone has a request for a tutorial please don't hesitate to ask.
A Good New Year to all the readers down here in the bowels of TalkGraphics Forum.

Thanks for the URL, I marked it.
Here is another Tutorial site that I use. Like it or not Illustrator is a major program used by many. Too bad they don't have the scanner capability like Corel Draw. They want you to use Photoshop with those extra large files.

Long time CorelDRAW and XARA user and recently aquired a used Mac that had Illy and Photoshop installed. Love these articles and tuts. Thanks for the links. Already answered my question about disappearing lines when using pencil tool in CS2.

Illustrator I believe has more tutorials than any other vector software on the web. With Photoshop being #1 over everybody. Of course I think we all know this. It's not unusual for viewers to adopt those Tutorials for other software like Xara, Corel Draw, or Inkscape.
