Another Corel user here. Not a big fan of Adobe.
Telecommuting would be interesting but sometimes it just doesn't work. A buddy was working here in Cincy for one of the "big four" RC car companies. He was doing design work in Solidworks for them for 3+ years. He finally moved out to Cali this spring to work in the office. He said too much time was being lost between time zones and not being able to sketch a drawing on paper and show it to the other guys working on the projects. Phone calls and e-mail were just not cutting it. He doesn't really like it out there but it was pretty much move or loose the job.
