Thanks for the file, vee!

It seems to work just fine. How does it seem to handle the more complex
CorelDraw functions/graphics (whatever those might be)? Just curious...
For the record I used Illy 10, and CS on the Mac and FeeCee.

Please forgive my ignorance but what the hell is 'ROTFLMAO'?

Vee you're dating yourself, In the "before time" there was AOL and chat rooms, and a whole language of acronyms popped up common sayings were reduced to using the first letter of each word to get the message out quickly. Unless you typed 120 words per minute you'd get left behind in a busy chat room so this method made it easier for those to say things fast, like LOL (Laugh Out Loud) and the one in question ROTFLMAO (Rolling On The Floor Laughing My A$$ Off) there are some many more I have forgotten since those days.. :roll:

BTW > the last speed test I took I was typing 110 words per minute! And I never really got into the 'chat rooms'.

Well at that age you would have been right in the middle of the AOL chat scandles, 1992-95. Got my first $2,000 phone bill because of AOHell, It's so nice to see we've come out of that era.

At that age I was full time Martial Arts,(still training today) BMX, Rollerblades and LOTS of Snowboarding - my absolute favorite past-time. The X-games really got me good. > amongst other things. :twisted:

Poooof > it opened right up. The file contained all grades of sh*t, embedded images, gradients, text, etc. Everything worked fine on this one. All Mac no PC. Try it out guys and post back with your results.

I tried changing the name to the .ai, opened it up in Illy CS and Illy CS2 and did not work.
The problem is the clip art CD supplied is Corel 10. Maybe we should just do all our design in Corel.

Here's the link to one of the files.
