Herb.... ========= Thanks Herb. I didn't open Illustrator so I think I will resell it on Amazon. I've done some vectoring in Paintshop Pro and it's derfinitely not for me. So I'll pick up Painter IX with a student discount. Somehow I thought Illustrator was something else. Stupid little old me. Well, they had it at the college bookstore, they didn't have Painter. But I can get that online. And, yes, I didn't research enough first. Now I am clued in. Thanks. Yup, Dave, I am one lucky devil, a tablet is something I have wanted for years. (And years and years -- even before they HAD tablets. :-)) Marnie aka Doe
