Congrats, Bob!!

I had to reinstall Windows XP on my home computer after a horrible worm invaded it. It's never been the same. It locks up, crashes, and takes forever to load even a simple txt page. When I open Photoshop, I get an error every time and it can't remember any of my customizations, reverting back to the default each time I load it. It's a mess, but I know it can be fixed if I could just figure out what to do.

Or go Office Space on it and just use a baseball bat.

I don't even know what Ubuntu is but I am not married to Vista that's for sure, in fact I can't wait until I get the courage up to serve it some divorce papers.
I want a Mac, but I'm getting old and set in my ways. I don't know if I have the ability to learn new tricks any more.

Ubuntu is Linex. Its just another operating system like Vista, XP, or any of the various Mac versions. Anyone can feel free to correct my errors with this (I know some, but not a lot), but Linex/Ubuntu is a open source operating system so the programs/software for it are free. For example, Gimp was made for Linex.

Bob, I don't know how much you actually know about Gimp. There is a good chance that you know a lot more than I do and we probably use the programs for different things, but here is my 2 cents: I used Gimp for about 8 months (I was Photoshop-less) and although I prefer Photoshop, I got really used to Gimp and it was hard for me to start using Photoshop again when I got CS4 for Christmas because doing the same things are done different ways. Some of them are just slight differences, but some are more difficult to figure out. It takes awhile to get used to it, but I found that I could do a lot on there that I didn't realize I could at first.

ooh how very rouge.
Thanks for the explaination.
