Gobbler: By not using the gimp you personally insult every linux head in existence. What's with those guys?

I have an older version of Photoshop somewhere which came bundled with a graphics card.
Years ago I tried VMware and it is very handy that I can share the USB ports compared to Connectix Virtual PC which I see that Microsoft brought it out. Some months ago they were giving Virtual Server away free but it was rigged full of problems for me.

Miss Sherwood: I'm not completely sure about your case, but there's an upgrade option if you already own a full version of Photoshop. Costs only around 150$.
Mr. Slade: Every person claiming that The Gimp is a good replacement for Photoshop is insulting the linux community tenfold. And I do use it, by the way, just like I'm using Fireworks, but Photoshop simply can't be beaten by those two.

I'll have to get it out to look, it might have been version 7.
When I get down to drawings I can try using that screen light pen but it works smoohtly through terminal services.

That's why I could never be a good Linux guy. When I do tinker with imagery, I use Paint Shop Pro 8. It's big, clunky, and its layering system is atrocious, but meh. We should have open-source photo-editing software that is actually decent, though. I wonder how long it would take for the companies selling products for 400+$ to go out of business?

If I had a version of Photoshop sitting in my garage or whatever, you would bet I would be out looking for it.

I also have Corel Draw 9 which I got for bundled for free.
This is the pen I got. Only cost me under $2 second hand:
Shame that there is no side button. Only push down.
It is difficult to get working on newer boards.
I tried Gimp, it looks simple to use but I don't like it when I accidentally click the foreground applications that gets in the way when I am trying to change the tool.

I wish I had one of those.

I got it on the same day on the same stall with the IBM 8595 server. If I known that they use similar processor boards I could have brought some IBM Pentium workstations back for that.
Believe me that pen board it is difficult to get working on newer boards. Once it is setup on a board that doesn't interfere with the settings reserved it is okay. Also a downside is that it does not take well to dark objects.

I would like a screen pen that could go through dark objects with two buttons by the side.

wow, photoshop is pricey....Photoshop Elements 2.0 came for free when we got a scanner, and again when I got a drawing tablet. the gimp looks decent, but it takes far less time to reboot into windows and use photoshop than it would for me to become as comfortable with the interface as I am currently with Photoshop.

Are the buttons to activate the pen, to start drawing? What exactly are the buttons for?
I'll read that thread soon. Right now, I'm drinking tea, and trying to relax.

Tea and coffee seems to give me stomach aches and head aches, makes me feel miserable.
The button on the pen is to draw, no different to the left button on a mouse. It works the same way as a mouse.
The button is on the nib, you push it down on the monitor.
There is a lead adapter that connects to the graphics card output, the monitor plugs into the adapter. All it does is sends dots to the monitor and the pen picks up the dots to determine the position of the pointer.
