It has numerous stability and significant performance improvements over 1.0.2.1 - so we would love previous users to download and let us know if you come across any issues.
A free update for Comic Life Magiq is available for all users.
Identical to 1.0.2c in all but version number, which has been changed to ensure 1.0.2 users are made aware of the 1.0.2c update via the menu: Comic Life Magiq > Check for Updates...
This 1.0.2.1 update is recommended for all 1.0.2 users and fixes a serious saving issue introduced in 1.0.2 that caused images to be left out of the document.

Texas Education agencies reported 3.5 million students enrolled in Texas public schools in 1992-93. This represented an additional 75,000 students over the previous year and a 2.2 percent growth rate. Student growth in Texas has increased steadily since 1990 at rates nearing 2.5 percent. Hispanic students are the ethnic students that continue to drive this growth. Hispanic student growth was 3.7 percent over the last year and 59 percent of the total student increase. African-American students continue to increase, although at a lower rate than other minorities.
Teachers make up 213,000 of over 400,000 staff in Texas Education institutions, or 52 percent of the total staff. While students increased by 2.2 percent from 1991-92 to 1993-93, teacher full time equivalent (FTE) counts grew by 3.2 percent. A higher growth rate for teachers is to be expected since student growth does not occur uniformly across districts and grades, requiring districts to hire additional teachers for less than full classrooms. In addition, data show that students are taking more courses than they were five years ago.
23 percent of all teachers are minorities, which represents no change since the last few years. Hispanic teachers make up 14 percent of all teachers. African-American teachers represent slightly over eight percent and are growing at the lowest rate of 1.3 percent of all ethnic groups. The fastest growing groups of all teachers in the Texas education circle are the Hispanic and all other minorities, which have growth rates of over 5 percent. Despite this, minorities that constitute 52 percent of all students are not equally represented among teachers in the state.
