Your statement is true if you use windows or UNIX. On Mac OS 9.2.1 on down my statement is correct. see reply and explaination of type nad creator codes in another post in this thread.

Or that Word and Photoshop should be > one app? What if you want to use FreeHand and Photoshop? Actaully if you have Office you basically have in effect one big Application. Because Excel, Word, Entourage, and PowerPoint can call one or the other up in any of the various applications and using OLE you can link elements created in one to projects in the other. Say you create a Chart in Excel. you embed it in a word document. Then if you update the chart either from Excel or Word when you open the element in the originating application its automatically updated to reflect the changes in both. Actually the idea of Photoshop and Illustrator being one app doesn't sound like a bad Idea. Deneba's Canvas Pro already does that, it has a Drawing element and a Painting element. Adobe is actually selling PhotoShop, Illustrator, Go live and another program as one big super package If you have a Couple of thousand clams ready to buy it. Word and Photoshop are too dissimilar. Freehand and Photoshop are from different vendors there May or may not be Translators to allow one to use the other. But they can't call each other up. what links newsreaders, email readers, and web browsers is the use of Javascript (openscript?) and what you have set in Internet Control panel in Mac platform. I stlll say use of a Multifunction Application is more convienent, waste less Hard Drive space and makes more effecient use of System RAM. So that you can have even more things runing at the same time. > > -- > Henri Sivonen > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.clinet.fi/~henris/ Let's just let it slide. We don't all see the same logic. Its not one is better or worse. I just don't believe in opening up any more items then I need to. Life's less complicated that way. Other people feel, well if I have to open 5 or 10 items to accomplish the one goal so be it. I got the resources so what. To me Mail, news, and Web browsing is is one goal - an internet experience - and if I can use one program to do it all so be it. AS I said previously The extent of my web browsing is mostly to obtain software updates/upgrades, some viewing of mutual funds as related to some budget items I deal with, and ocassionally looking something or someone. I don't spend hours on end until my eyeballs fall out looking at this and that website or playing internet games. That just doen't appeal to me. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phillip M.
