I spoke to Corel a while back, and suggested that if they were smart,
(not Julian Smart), they would come out with a low-end product to lure
people in, in the hopes that they would later upgrade to the full
Corel Draw product.  (They could call it Corel Scribble, I suppose).
They didn't seem particularly intrigued by the marketing strategy
I proposed.  (Of course, anyone that would put white guys doing 
rap on a promotional video for a software product is obviously a few 
bricks short of a load, anyway).
