Great podcast and discussion… I would argue that the number of Mac users on CorelDRAW version 11 wasn’t as small as mentioned in the podcast, but the percentage of users on the Mac was very small.

Gérard would definitely know!! For those of you who don’t know who Gérard @ Corel is… he is Sr. Director, Product Management, Graphics at Corel Corporation.
My apologies Gérard, please remember that I’ve been known to exaggerate the facts for dramatic effect when presenting.
I’m more than a little impressed that you tuned in and I can guarantee that if this band of misfits decided to air a podcast on an Adobe product, nobody from Adobe would give a shitake mushroom.
Thanks for being involved in our industry!
PS – not a CorelDRAW expert, still learning

Jay, the great thing with CorelDRAW graphics suite is that there is always something new to learn. Great to find your blog & facebook today while listening to your show, while I am working myself. You guys talking about social media, it´s the way I found out about your site´s. Will it give us work? If it only give you one assigment you can trace to a social media channel, so be it, but its a great way to interact.
