     Buyers of graphics programs always seem to get reamed. The price of
     things like CorelDraw is..well..funny, of not sad. Any program that
     costs more than an OS is just ASKING for pirates to latch onto it.
     Im willing to bet that programs like CorelDraw are so smegging big
     on purpose- to prevent/discourage people from pirating it. I myself
     use a program that is around 400K, and kicks the Hell out of all
     but the biggest, most elaborate VGA paint programs. It was made in
     about 1987-88, when piracy was still an art form.
