Lock-in as in "f*ck I'm screwed now i have to use Adobe products to have access to all my work". >From your standpoint they have made a poor decision for letting that happen in the first place I guess.

In the real world, people trade freedoms for candy. cheers -- Jakub Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
