Clip art abounds...and there's some pretty high
quality stuff out there.
As far as cd's go, you can go to any office supply or
computer store and buy tons of cds (fairly cheap,
too...I've seen them for as low as $4.99 at Office
Max). Personally, I have the Broderbund Click Art
250,000 collection (something like 12 cd's), Corel's
65,000, and various Softkey stuff, and they're all
good.
Microsoft has a clip art gallery for registered Office
users...just go to their website and click on the
downloads section.
If you need more, just go to yahoo and type in "clip
art." I'll bet a million sites will come up...
