"OK, now we're going to, going to, I'm just going to show you how to save Vector Art in Illustrator. I mean, I've just got this, you know, stupid thing that I've just kind of was mucking around to show you guys how to use the various tools in Illustrator, but just say this was some master piece that you wanted to save so you can get it printed up, and a big poster put up in your room.
