As a recent lister, there should be a welcome for those who have at least got the courage to intro themselves. As it is hard to provide an example created with the programs, unless one asks for the help \knowledge to do so. There are a myriad of artists out there, who maybe just need that bit of encouragement to take up the oss armour (no pun Nico), and a "get on with it", in this case may not be the best approach. Currently am printing out the "inkscape manual" by Tavmjong Bah, am getting there, but it's a slow road for me, I sleep a lot (http://www.narcolepsy.org.uk/) Even a weak bulb may help the overall neon lighting.
