I was recently reading a prospectus for a local colledge. They had courses on thing like Photoshop, Vista and Flash. I got the distinct feeling that they were charging several hudred dollars to teach stuff I could probably figure out for myself but taking one of these course may help get a job. It also occured to me that there were no courses on GIMP, Lynux, SVG etc..
If you want to touch up holiday snaps, then GIMP is a lot cheaper than even Photoshop Elements. Alternatively, if you work for a high powered computer company, or are an unemployed geek, you can modify GIMP or Blender or something and do very complicated things with it. I suspect that part of the problem with getting acceptance for fee software and non-propriatory formats is that you can't get certified for them (or can you). Is anything being done about this? I'm thinking about taking this issue to a lefty group and see if they're interested in setting up courses on using fee computer software. ------------------------------------ ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ----Yahoo!
