I run Linux, and dearly miss being able to use Fireworks. My attempts to get it running on Wine in the past (probably a year or so ago, if not more) were not successful, and I haven't been able to find anything that feels like a suitable replacement for working with vector graphics. It is a genuine (perhaps irrational) point of sadness.
I'm still bitter that they killed it off.

<query>Are there any parameters we could tweak to engender emergent structure in an inverted gravity universe? Or is the idea of negative gravity fundamentally and inescapably incompatible with a viable, life-bearing cosmos?</query>
<query>How might the radically different physics and structure of a dual gravity universe shape the evolution of life and intelligence in such a cosmos compared to our own? What unique challenges and opportunities would arise?</query>
<query>What might the technology, culture, and consciousness of intelligent life look like in a universe where the stars are always within reach, and stagnation is more difficult than exploration? How would our own history have unfolded differently under such physics?</query>
<query>How might technologically advanced civilizations in a dual gravity universe harness the unique properties of negative gravity for computation, engineering, and art? What feats might be possible that are unimaginable in our own universe?</query>

Google needs to be broken up.
You are absolutely correct regarding their malice. The minister responsible for the implementation of the illegal scheme was former Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, who went so far as to purposefully mislead his cabinet. The former Prime Minister is despised by the general public at this point, and his will likely be recorded as the most cruel and criminal government in Australia's recent history.

There's no going back now- we've come too far. I can relate to this, though. I have it, so now I must solve it- pointlessness be damned.
Have you written anything on the development of this project, or is this something you'd consider? I would love to build something similar, and the idea of combining old analogue technology with modern tools and integrations- especially PBX- is quite intriguing.
I believe that some kind of accessible and open platform will eventually take the place of place in the local discovery field.
What a disappointing simplification.
