Thanks, William -

I just ( recently ) bought Creative Suite Premium, although
I need to enroll in a course at the local University to use
it. A Friend of mine politely pointed out that I've been, for
the most part, away from Design during the critical years
1983 - 2002 ( After it's digitization beginning in 1969 ).

This makes it all a bit 'challenging' <Grin> Although, as
I was there in it's 'formative years, say 1869 - 1969, I
have some advantages- I know better 'from whence it
came.'
