> btw, how many of you use linux for graphic manipulation issues? Some of the time, for most of my personal work. I use Linux at home all the time unless I need a particular non-linux program.
For pro pre-press use photoshop is still much better (even older versions) but Gimp is catching up quick. I've got a great new mac G4 with PS7 at work which has pretty much stopped me using the older mac with PS5.5 that I have on loan from my mother for mac-compatible work-related use. I've also got PS3 for windoze running under WinMe and 3.11, and Gimp for windoze running under WinMe, but I haven't used either in at least a year since I only boot to windoze for games. DJE
