Just a passing observation...Today I was searching for an equivalent to Microsoft Paint for the Mac. A quick Google search revealed Paintbrush for Mac on Apple.com/downloads. I downloaded it and am happy with this simple little app; however, Paintbrush is not available on the Mac App Store. Weird. I wonder how many other apps are available on Apple.com/downloads that are not available on the Mac App Store.

As the Mac App Store grows, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before everything on apple.com/downloads is on there. It only makes sense.

BTW, I love your avatar! Good old Speedy Gonzales cartoons. Those were the days...
