PRECIS
I'm looking for recommendations for off-the-shelf clipart covering current
hardware/technology.
BACKGROUND
I'm currently using the "Masterclip 100,001" set of clipart CDs. I only
require the images pertinent to computing. Unfortunately, the CD set I have
is from 1996. While the computing images bring back many memories from the
past (TRS 80, Mac Plus but no punch cards) this doesn't really help me to
create graphics for current hardware and technologies.
The company that distributes the software here in Australia (IMSI Australia)
is no help at all regarding the content of teh most recent release (1998).
Retailers, quite reasonably, don't know every image that's inside every
cardboard box they sell. They don't want to open their cardboard boxes and
I'd rather not buy a pig-in-a-poke.
QUESTION
Can you recommend any off the shelf clipart packages that extensively cover
recent looking computing technology?
