Re: [Gimp-user] Attn: GIMP

2014-01-08 Thread Jeff Weidemoyer
Pete,

 

Thank you for your email. Well that's a great question, and one that I
expect one will be asked a lot as I progress further. Who has 24 years
planned out for their creative projects, let alone the next 3 years? I'm
hoping to avoid myself being my own cover band like some popular bands today
(Metallica, Guns N' Roses are the primary bands that comes to mind). So, I
figured if I give myself a timeline to fit my expected releases into,
hopefully I can be able to keep my creative bottle filled (so-to-speak),
versus having it run-out and still attempting to release new material. I
hope that makes sense! Thank you again!

 

\m/ JP \m/

Okay, I'll bite. Why 24 years? That might be about right for me, since I am
75.

Keep your horizons long!

Now I am off to listen to the music

Shlomi Fish,

Thank you for your reply. After I get my budget back on track (GIMP may be 
free, but music gear is most certainly not haha), I will gladly make a 
donation. I know several friends who use it consistently as well. Happy New 
Year to you too!
