But of course I'm a freeware kinda guy! :)

Yep... even with the add ons...

I understand about the freeware though... for most stuff I go that route. It's just that some stuff is worth paying for.

Im a freeware/cheapware kind of guy lol. I've been using PaintShop pro for years instead of Photoshop, great program but PS is far better.

I have yet to try Gimp. I don't have Office though I have an older version of Word that came with my laptop and I have openoffice. There was a paid version that Sun came out with that was really nice looking. That is the problem with a lot of freebies is they look cheezy

Ahem

Open Office is on the Ubuntu disk. The installer for Windows.....

I understand. That is how I feel about Nero and Partition Magic. I'll pay for those because they are da bomb!

I belong to a forum where they are giving away a licensed copy of VB.

email me and I will shoot you a link for the thread on that forum.

Done!
