My Hewlett @ss Packart (yes that language is necessary). Is acting up again. It's having the same problems it did last year. Last Summer it took HP 3 months to fix it (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . I'm going to see if I can get them to replace it-they refused to do that last time. In the mean time my internet access might be limited. Of course it's not as if we need a huge team of moderators. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Needless to say-I'm building my next computer.

Gimp = free Photoshop-like package in most Linux distributions

I use a mix of Solaris and Linux at work, with a somewhat vestigial Win2K machine on my desk.

At home, it's a mix of Suse, Redhat, and XP.

You can put GIMP on windows too. I use win98 SE at home and win2k, SUSE linux, and Redhat linux at work. The only reason I use Windows is for MS office; Open office is coming along though and I havn't learned LATEX yet. I have to use Linux at work for running Computational Fluids Dynamics simulations and since windows uses 25% of your memory no matter how much you have, it just won't do for large computations.
