@steveprutz:
I thought Paint could, I know in the past it did (Win95) but I wasn’t sure, so I didn’t say anything, thus saving myself from complete idiocy.
@woolycow:
If you goto the Apple Software site, look for a program called MAcPaint (I think that is it. Anyway, it has the two words in the name in some order.) That is the Mac version of MSPaint. If you safe your work as jpeg or png, you can use them as icons. The advantage with using Illustrator and\or photoshop is how fast you can make a “glossy” icon, like the ones on the iPhone. With MSPaint you need a lot of talent to draw the icons all in one layer, where-as Illustrator lets multiple layers.
@Eambos: LOL, you beat me to the punch line!
