Sorry I have not been posting. I was dealing with some crochet, visiting family, and now I am learning to use my freshly installed Linux OS, Ubuntu. Which, is likely to be my permanent OS since I cannot get windows to install again. I just got my wireless card working so I am on line now. They need a warning that says, Ubuntu is for the average user, if you have the book, and are not on a laptop with Atheros AR242x wireless adapter. Cos the drivers don't work with Ubuntu, and it seems they never really have, lol.
Anyway, my computer runs like a dream now. I have yet to figure out the vector/drawing, and photo manipulation programs. I have messed with Gimp a little, so not too worried. It is suppose to be as good as Adobe Photoshop, you just have to add plug-ins to get all the same effects. Best of all it is free!
Anyway, I am off to figure out how to use my new OS, which was also free, and orange, and shiny! Just don't install on a lappy with my wireless card, and don't overwrite all of windows...dual is best...silly me...
