I first came across Xara in the form of Webstyle 4.....my interest at the time was building web pages, strictly from a learning point of view. I stopped playing with that for a while, built some sites in Dreamweaver and finally came across Xara again at the Xara X version. I think I finally bought at Xara5 and have been upgrading ever since. I'm slowly learning a bit here and there about graphics but am pretty slow in that area, just because I'm spread so think on all my too many hobbies and work.
