I want to be able to demonstrate relationships between objects
graphically, at different zoom levels.

for example "child-of" or "friend-of" or "boss-of" (so you can have

Our 16 year old daughter is pretty good with hand and PC art /
graphics (self taught so far) and is probably going to do a 3D Design
(BTEC) course starting next year.
This week she is doing some work experience with the missus and her

I've been messing about with Clicker using a Tapwave Zodiac to control a
PowerBook. Old news I know but it's very slick.
I've got a BT phone - Nolia 6230i which I haven't got to work with
Clicker, but I've a couple of questions:

Has anyone had problems opening OO3 documents created on a 10.4 machine
on one running 10.3.9? OO version 3.6.1 on both Macs.

I'm noticing some oddness in when iPod and iTunes (latest versions) mark
audio as played. I'd appreciate it if anyone else has looked into this
