I have been using a PC/IBM compatible platform and the typical upgrades of Windows for 13 years. My current OS system is Windows/ME. It has always been easy for me to adapt quickly to the next version and apply previous working commands, etc to the new versions and other programs.

Since the early 90's, I have used various versions and upgrades of CorelDraw. Currently I am using Coreldraw 7.0 for most of my graphic design and imagery. Simultaneously, I also use Adobe Illustrator 9.0,
and Adobe Photoshop as regular alternatives. On occasion ... Microsoft Publisher.

I have found Microsoft Front Page 2000 versatile enough to create & manage the websites I have created for myself and others over the last seven years. I have recently been exploring and applying my previous knowledge and experience to Macromedia’s Dream Weaver, Freehand, Flash and Quark as graphic, animation & website generator alternatives. Through the last 7 years I have created over 100-200 web pages and in
the process, I have gained familiarity with modifying and writing directly
in HTML codes.

Other software programs I am currently exploring is Turbocad 3D/
Floorplan Deluxe3D - a home and garden designing & tour program
and a DOS version of the architectural software - Datacad.
