   I'm glad to hear Your W7 and W10 pcs are behaving.   
      
   Leo Notenboom says the same thing as You, but there are some comments to   
   His article on W10 that are about the same as what I read on Woody Leonhard's   
   articles and comment sections.

   A employee at a Commodore PC Store demostrated how easy it was to draw a   
   picture using the Amiga, but I didn't have the money to get an Amiga.   
      
   A friend of mine used C=64 GEOS to draw a picture of himself and his   
   Commodore gear to print on a Floppy Disk Jacket and gave a copy of it to me.   
      
   I tried to edit out the mustache in the image and made a big blank mess.   
      
   iirc When I moved (scrolled) the drawing, GEOS Saved the mess on the   
   floppy disk by writing over the original.   DUH!   
   So I gave up on trying to use GEOS to make a drawing.   
      
   I tried using Paint in W3.1 to see if I could draw something and didn't   
   do any better than I did on GEOS64.   
      
   I'm not a Artist, although I use Irafanview a lot, but I don't try to   
   draw something using it, I use it to Edit and to Save or Print something   
   I find in my wanderings around on the internet.
