Heh true. For me it performed an important function in
that it made me aware of all of the stuff I have to do
and a framework to work to. I have a deadline that I
can't move back if I'm behind, this is a pass or fail
choice.

Yeah, I remember looking at a friend using Dia for
this now you mention it.

I'll look at this, I tried last night but it's a .deb
and I have the Sun JVM installed which wasn't, so dpkg
complains about not having Java. I don't fancy trying
to package the whole Sun JVM into a .deb so I'm open
to advice or I might just take the easy way and get
Blackdown or something.

Thanks for your time and your advice :)
