I couldn't agree with you more NP.  I still have a copy of Drawing Board
on 
this computer and the other 3 in the house.  I've used it for everythhing 
from designing my yard to the fondation of my brothers shed.  But, when
I'm 
at work I just take a napkin and sketch a design that I happen to be 
thinking about.  Most of the time they get tossed in the garbage, But!
