A wee bit of a lame punchline sorry - but was all I could think of ...

Note: Thanks to Gary Priester for his excellent cheeseburger tutorial
from 2002 in the Xara Xone.

Regards

I just realised that my image contains a bad spelling mistake (thank the lord and his garden gnomes for sub editors and proof readers). Please forgive my poor spelling. Due to my inability to edit my post (time ran out or something) I can't correct and re-post the image.

Very nice! And a good idea to resurrect this thread. Maybe we'll see some of the new features put to use.

You can always ask moderator to replace the image or correct the spelling of your post.

What new features? Oh, you mean Designer 6? I'm sitting on the fence on that one. For the first time ever I'm not sure if I will upgrade.I'm sure D6 now facilitates certain tasks that before were manual tasks (I do like the intelligent photo stretching feature) but I'm not sure it justifies the upgrade price. However, I have yet to go through the new features with a fine tooth comb (busy busy busy with work). I'm glad you like my "sell that damn rock!" poster

True. Or somebody could make the forum more user-friendly IMHO. It would take an admin about 5 seconds to extend the time limit on the user "edit" feature. IMO of course

No. All the edits of the posts that potentially may have some responses must be moderated to avoid possible issues.
If you have more questions or propositions regarding forum organization please contact moderator. Alternatively you may open a thread in the Announcements & Feedback forum.

This debate is going OT so I suggest we stop it right here.

Thanks.

Frank,

Have a look at XaraXhris' overview on his youtube site, that may sway your decision.

Thanks for the link. I watched it and Chris' soft northern narrator's voice eased me effortlessly into the land of nod and beyond!

As for XDP6? Ok, ok, I bought it, ok?

Anybody else want to put up a version for this challenge?
