I don't think any one gets tired of you posts. I certainly enjoy them and your enthusiasm rubs off on some old guy like me and gets be more excited about the hobby again. Like Jim states, try what you want. I would suggest trying the free software first and see if you like it. I don't really know what the purchased software offers above and beyond the free, maybe some one on here that has Coral Draw or other purchased software will explain, I have often wondered but didn't want to spend the money to find out.
