      Is that what they're calling Bloatus Goatse (aka lotus notes) these days? Because every lounger knows that particular pile of filth owns the buggiest code in the world title.

                          Should try Solidworks for a day! That has got to be one of the buggiest pieces of crap software ever written. I’m sure the people that wrote it couldn’t even program a for-next loop properly.

                              Elephant it, why not? So long as their use doesn't cause problems, it's just a different experience to alcohol. Besides, we're one of very few generations to live through two palindrome years. Perhaps the third, I suppose. 99 & 101, 999 and 1001, 1991 and 2002. One may as well enjoy oneself after a healthy dose of hard work and helping others. Yeah, I used to get out more. :-\

                              You know, even in the first century AD, there where people that lived longer than 20 years. So a single person living through 55 - 66 -77 - 88 -99 - 101- 111 would not be so hard to imagine. I don't think they numbered their years like that, though, so they might not have known how special they were.

                                    Clearly you have been around the block my friend. I haven't touched Corel anything since the 90s... and yet I still remember the pain... oh the pain... curse you Corel Draw! On a side note, I just checked. That thing is still selling... :omg:

                                          Really... granted I haven't used it since the 90s. I just went the Adobe route after having "fun" with it and never looked back.
