Hello, I was running Adobe Illustrator and then started up Hephaestus and Illustrator immediately crashed. For the sake of science I tried a couple other programs (sixpack and Athena) with similar results. Another person in my research group has also experienced these problems. I just wanted to alert other people to the perils of running Illustrator with one of the other programs. thanks, matt -- ******************************************** Matthew Ginder-Vogel Doctoral Student Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences Stanford University Soil and Environmental Biogeochemistry Group gindervm@pangea.stanford.edu ********************************************
