>>> Can anyone suggest, if one exists, a program that will allow you to dra= w >>> a picture with different color lines, with the mouse, and some text. I've been using EAGLE (a PCB design package) for a number of simple drawing= s of technical rather than "artistic" content. For example http://www.flickr.com/photos/58843278@N00/5624054920/in/set-721= 57601072004330 I find the reliance on "real world" dimensions to be pretty useful. you have to manually export an image before you can mail it (which I think = is going to be true of most drawing programs; I don't think I've ever seen = an "export as email" option in anything.) (Hmm. Google Docs includes a "dr= awing" program; would that work for you?) And EAGLE is far from simple to use. To use it for general purpose drawing= s sort-of assumes that you'd be familiar with it from its more traditional = uses.
