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>
