One of my customers ten years ago, was a cartoonist, Skip Morrow. He
had a series of books beginning with "I Hate Cats", but because of
his recognizable style, did a brisk business in covers for national
magazines and ad campaigns. In the late 80's, he started to move over
to digital, making use of scanners, pixel and vector-based
illustrator apps, and drawing tablets. (In fact, he was a product
endorser for Kurta tablet, and even went to trade shows to
demonstrate it their booths.)
After several years if this Brave New World, he was disillusioned,
remarking wryly, "These people have a way of making themselves a part
of your business".
So, Ron, is that a 286 or a 386 that they'll have to pry your cold,
dead fingers off of. Whatever it is, it hasn't stuck you in the
category of "can't make a filter or a mailbox".
I *do* like the business of "power of attorney". I'm going to try to
sneak it into my rebuilding contracts (down in the 6 point type
area). Three years after new hammers and shanks, should I discover a
way of shaping tails for better back-checking, my customers should
not be allowed to stay with obsolete work.
Whatever one wants to say about Bill gates, he has an unbeatable
business model.
