Sorry I haven't been commenting on all the wonderful posts but my illness
seems to be in remission. J I'm sure it will flare up again soon but for now
just let me say how much I enjoy all the beautiful creations filling my
mailbox. For a brief description from the C.D.C. see below.

"Acquired Paint Shop Pro Syndrome"

"The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta today announced the
identification of a new disease.

Tentatively named Acquired Paint Shop Pro Syndrome, the disease is highly
infectious. Scientists at CDC say the disease is caused by a bacillus called
staphloairbrush because of its brush-like shape. Under the microscope the
bacillus is long and slender with a bristle like appendage at one end.

Symptoms of the disease include feverish babbling of words, such as font,
blade, image, fill, and talking about invisible friends such as Kittypoo,
Luv2pnt, and Qeenfont etc. Additionally, symptoms include feverish trading
and storing of filters, masks and plug-ins, and a 'groaning Graphics folder.

The disease is especially dangerous because it cannot only be passed along
directly from one infected individual to another, but documented cases have
been found where the sufferer caught the disease from reading a tutorial or
joining a graphics exchange group.

The CDC says that while the disease was especially prevalent on an Internet
Server called America On Line cases have been found on every other Server
around the globe.

Family members should be aware that while the disease may occasionally enter
remission, it is at present incurable.

The patient should be given a quiet corner with a comfortable chair, ample
supply of snack type treats, and good lighting. Interruptions should be
minimized. "
