I will continue to use GIMP. I already know the interface, so why would I stop if I know how to do the things I want?

your posts are very refreshing. I don’t know why nearly everyone isn’t saying things like this. I’m glad some people are.

oh gosh, I recently moved and am dreading making a new garden enclosure, but if I don’t, all my plants will be devoured.

yeah… Frank’s voice also isn’t what it was, but it was still enjoyable, I thought. I feel like I’m at a stage in life where I’m accepting some things changing or deteriorating more than I’d like, so I can enjoy it for what it is.
Some other deteriorations these days I can’t accept, but that’s another story…

yeah :-(
Having worked for a good while at a public library in an area with many very poor people made me feel someone REALLY needs to empower low income people regarding technology. I feel like librarians are one of the few groups with an outlet to do that currently, and it’s often not particularly supported.
