stumped?

[Bradley J. Bartram]

This is kind of related...

Did anyone happen to catch the non-linked, un-corroborated statement on 
slashdot regarding adobe possibly porting its design suite over to unix due 
to major studios converting?

It's not really related to the topic at hand but a native port of an 
application should beat one which is "emulated".  I know, wine isn't an 
emulator...oh well.  =)
