I am opposite! I can't imagen designing on the PC! Granted I have never tried and don't have a program that does that nor much knowledge of Power Point or those kinds of programs that do this kind of thing, but to me...it just seems easier to sit in the comfort of my sofa or even while I am at the table eating, to just start drawing...kind of like..anywhere any time. But on a PC...gotta be in that chair and uncomfortable and all that...I'll just stay back in the 20th century are use paper and markers!
