    Hi Steve, great to hear from you after all this time. Glad to hear your well & still managing to make a living from your talent. Talk Graphics isn't the forum it was 20 years ago. Then it was mainly vector graphics orientated whilst these days it's far more website creation orientated. Unfortunately Xara has lost it's prime focus and there's been little development regard the vector side. This may well be due to it's roots on the software that gave it's blistering speed advantage over Coral Draw & Illy all those years back.

    34? You're probably one of the youngest contributor to TG. As Gary states most of us are ancient now. I'm 72. Also many of the old contributors are now sadly deceased.

    But hey, thanks for dropping back in!

    72? It is all relative, you are a child.
    Spent some time at a VA clinic (USA) a while back. Guy stands up and brags that he is 92 (did not look it). Another guy told him to sit down, he was 96. A young man was pushing and older gentleman in a wheel chair. Said the oldster was 102.

    Me? I am only 86.

    Yes, Lou, there is always a gun slinger who is faster on the draw. And always someone who is older. But these days, most of them are younger.

    Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened!

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
