On the contrary, MacPaint is very much alive! The folks from MacUser seem to
have misinterpreted Yogen's remarks at the Claris press conference at MacWorld.
Yogen said that Claris would eventually include bitmap technology in future
versions of MacDraw, but didn't specify when.  While some may assume this is
the demise of MacPaint, it certainly isn't true.  Claris sees the need for
an entry-level bitmap graphics program continuing.
