Paul,
Good point re:it being harder to get started than to get better.
That's the "learning curve" you always hear people talk about, and
it's kept me from starting on more than one occasion.
I'm personally living up in the Fort Wayne area nowadays, so getting
down to Bloomington on a weekday is not usually going to be in the
realm of possibility for me. Anyone else (in the B-town area) have a
handle on the very basics of the GIMP to share?
Simón
P.S. Pretty good idea announcing what you'd like to see a presentation
on on the list; much greater chance of it actually happening than the
alternative. ;-)
