Don't mistake that for years in production. They have a LOT of season breaks. Not sure why, they seem to be at about 100 shows or so, 10 shows per season. The Linux Link Tech Show is at episode 340 or so, and still on their first season.

>>Aren't we all sick of the same old crap we get from the two inbred parties yet? If not - well - I've heard that people get the government that they deserve.

The problem is that *I* get the government that they deserve!

I was 72638,1421, but that was the second time around. I initially had an account sometime account 82/83 with my Vic-20. Racked up a HUGE bill, and got the plug pulled by my folks after a single month. I wish I knew what that original ID was. It took a long time to convince them to allow me to use the phone to call local BBSs after that.

Yes, Verizon gave me a contract without my SSN.
I went to them because AT&T required that I give them my SSN. I challenged them to do the credit check without it, or drop the order. They dropped the order. I guess they don't need my business.

- Gimp is *not* Photoshop. Sorry. I know I mentioned this, but I'll repeat it again. You insult people who actually use Photoshop by making this claim.

Nothing will ever be Photoshop but Photoshop. Anything else will be different in some way, and will not have the same level of support. If what you need is Photoshop, and nothing else, fine, but keep this in mind.

1) You will never have an alternative, you will run on the platforms that they support, with the features that they want to give you.
2) You will pay whatever they demand, forever. (Or pirate, if your conscience will bear it)

People need to try new things to see if it works for them, and if it suits their needs. If you cannot change, pay up, Adobe and Microsoft will love you for it.
