Graffle 5 OS

I love OG and have been pining for native Visio handling for years.

I think I represent a use-case that is probably not too rare.

Basically, I think Omni products are all very competitively priced and
vastly over-deliver at that price point. If OG cost 50% more I would
still upgrade immediately.

My problem is all the other apps that make up my workspace. I can't
upgrade to Leopard because that would mean a GBP1,200 license fee to
Adobe.

At that price point, I'll have to wait for my next hardware upgrade,
the 12" Powerbook that just HAS TO BE in the pipeline ;-)

This is a real shame -- essentially it means I can't buy the most
important app on my desktop (I'm an IA and use OG every day).

Cheers all,
Dug
