Actually the target 1 was meant rather as complementary to the spin -- create a spin for designers but also include some work we have done ourselves and are proud of it and tune the look'n'feel of the spin ;-) The main purpose should be combination of 2-5 targets, I was merely listing some (partly overlapping) subsets of the whole spin I think that would be worth optimizing it for (we won't be probably marketing for all creative users at once but for Joe who does web design, for Jane who likes to do home videos, for Pete who is professional typesetter, ...). Although, looking back through the list, probably desktop publishing and typesetting should be merged as one subset... Martin
