Ok,

I am not knocking those hard working printers, as I have several friends 
who do that for a living. It is almost fascinating to watch, but the ink 
goo all over the hands, that never wash off... not my cup o' tea.

But the above comments from Freda is why I prefer web design over print, 
less mess, less hassles, ... well usually.

And yes, I am a Photoshop fan, although PSP has aspects that are fun to 
play with. I thought of checking out the Elements program, but read it has 
no curves, which means less fun with images (I finally got the knack of 
curves, and wouldn't want to do without for my pics.) Otherwise, it looks 
good for web designers and others who can use it for their needs. I believe 
in using the right tools for the job, whatever they may be.

Well, back to the fun all...
