I'm half hour from shutdown, and I confess that's what excites me on
Friday afternoon of a long week. But these tools get the job done, and
I'm pleased with them, for the most part.

Papyrus and Turkey Quill Pen, hammer and chisel on granite slab (I do
live in Vermont), graphics scribed in wet sand (permanent ones are
scribed in wet clay then dried and stored in urns)....
Okay, maybe not all of the above, but I feel that way sometimes.
I really use Office Pro 2003, Acrobat 8.0, Photoshop and Image Ready 7,
CorelDraw 11, Pinnacle Studio 10.5, Dreamweaver MX, SnagIt 8, Roxio 9,
and all the wonderful utilities that came with my Nikon CoolScan V
scanner and Canon 40D camera. The last two are the most fun.
