CS Odessa Sponsoring TidBITS

  We're pleased to welcome as our latest long-term sponsor the
  Ukrainian company CS Odessa, makers of a suite of programs based on
  their flagship business and technical drawing application
  ConceptDraw. You likely wouldn't use ConceptDraw for a figure
  drawing class, but if you need to draw an org chart, diagram your
  network, plan out a Web site, lay out an office floor plan, or map
  your business processes, ConceptDraw's vector drawing tools, layers,
  smart connectors, and presentation mode make it ideal for business
  graphics. CS Odessa has taken some of the more popular uses of the
  general ConceptDraw program and created versions tweaked for
  specific uses, such as Concept Draw MINDMAP for brainstorming,
  ConceptDraw Project for project management, ConceptDraw WebWave for
  mocking up Web sites, and ConceptDraw NetDiagrammer for visualizing
  networks. For people coming over from Windows, ConceptDraw works
  well as an alternative to Microsoft Visio, and ConceptDraw can
  import Visio documents in XML format (the company also provides a
  free service for anyone who wants to convert Visio's VSD documents
  into Visio XML (VDX) files).

  We go way back with CS Odessa - they first sponsored TidBITS in
  2001, and for a time they were even helping revitalize our Russian
  translation, so it's good to see that they've prospered over the
  last seven years. Thanks to CS Odessa for their support of TidBITS
  and the Mac community!
