July 2003 Mohamed Elhlaly (Lord)
Hello, many of you know me in the TalkGraphics Xara forum by my user name Lord. I'm an an Egyptian and was born in 1960 in Cairo, the
capital of Egypt. I finished my studies as an electrical systems technician in Cairo, and then I worked for a few years in Egypt. in 1987 I moved to the city of Graz in Austria where I now work.
I particularly love Graphics and technical design. I have used nearly all graphics programs.
However I was not able to create a good image with any of these products until in the year 2000 I did a search in Google for vector graphics programs and Xara was among the search results. I tried Xara and now I do most of my work in Xara. As far as I am concerned, there is no another graphics program that can replace Xara.
My second language is German (you can imagine the fun I have in the Xara Conferences, thinking in Egyptian and German and trying to explain
myself in English!). I have the German language version of CorelDRAW, however I have not been able to get the same good results from CorelDRAW that I can get from Xara X.
Much of what I have learned about creating with Xara X, and graphics in general, I have learned from the members of the Xara Conference on
TalkGraphics.com. To all of you who have shared your experience with me, I would like to say, thank you and particularly I would like to thank Gary Priester for editing by text and all the terrific moderators and
members in the Xara Conference from whom I have learned so much.
And now onward with Xara X.
—Mohamed Elhlaly
