Illustrator

I sit on top of Mount Photoshopolympus and look down at the peons below me. :) But seriously, I wanted to do graphic design at one point, but the only tool I've ever had available to me (and thus been able to learn) is Photoshop.

Yeah, I've been giving some thought to Illustrator myself. ...

I just confirmed that is a photoshop issue. Illustrator, InDesign, Word, Dreamweaver and Apple's Preview software all print the way they are supposed as far as handling multiple copies. I guess I should turn my focus towards photoshop/Adobe now and see what I can find.

Illustrator. PowerBook Titanium or PowerBook Aluminium?
