So that's your next challenge.
Yes, I've seen it, had to watch the whole thing, it is so fascinating. If I ever decide to invest in such a machine, it'll be an expensive one that allows me to digitize my own graphics (not just ready-made sets), preferably as vectors. In which case doing *that* isn't so much of a challenge any more. I've coveted one of those for a while, but currently cannot justifty getting one, neither for fun nor for my tiny craft business as that one is concentrated on the pre-steam era. However, I'm planning to use MetaPost to create blackwork charts, I've got the feeling that it'll give me neater results than any existing software. And I won't be stuck with one OS, either. :-) Mari
