You didn't hurt my feelings. I was laughing because I agree with you. Graphic Design in its current incarnation is full of idiots who know next to nothing about graphic design and even less about computers. What you may not have picked up was, I was talking about what ``should'' be, not what ``is''.

What they teach in graphic design classes that I've seen fails to mention that the concepts of design go back to ancient history. Most of what I've heard, and the little I've read teaches to the software.

Did Johannes Gutenburg and his shop use Adobe and Apple tools?
