Hi there.
In the wake of the announcement of cancelling MacPaint, Claris
announced that its features will be incorporated into MacDraw.
Why? Hasn't Claris figured out that people want some low-end product
to do somewhat precise object-oriented drawing with? Instead, they've
taken the route to make MacDraw into MacGraphicsPackage, complete with
object and bit drawing, presentation managing and who know what else.
Oh, to fill the gap they've introduced Claris CAD at a whopping $795.
Please, please Claris, return MacDraw to us. Don't try to make
another SuperPaint or PowerPoint. Just give us a low-end version of
CAD or competitor with MacDraft (is that still around?).
In general, it seems that many companies are trying to make their
programs compete with everyone an do it all. Maybe when IAC really
gets into System 7.x, this trend will go away.
Thoughts, comments....
