Pierre Bézier's Birthday

Monday September 1, 2008
Today is the birthday of Pierre Bézier, the French mathematician and engineer who developed the Bézier curves method of computer drawing in the late 1960s while working for the car manufacturer Renault. Today, most graphics software includes a pen tool for drawing paths with Bézier curves.

Sue…. Can you direct me to assistance with a non-working… out-of-date Adobe Photoshop Albumn Starter Program 3.0… Somehow I transferred my digital camera photos into this old program and now it will not work and I stupidly deleted the orginials from the camera… Is there an old unlock code that I can use just to retrieve those photos??? Thanks very much for any help you can give me… Saundra
