Re: Re: GIMP 2.4.2 help?

You may be old enough to be my big brother, but most certainly not my 
dad. I spent the summer of '63 setting up computerized circulation for 
periodicals at the LASL library and keypunching all the data to generate 
routing slips. I taught myself how to program the keypunch machine, and 
then I taught the secretaries who would carry the project on when I went 
back to school in the fall.  :-)

Surely we aren't the only ones here who go way back. My dad is old 
enough to go back to the very beginning, but he never touched a computer 
until he retired 20 some years ago, because he had a secretary to do 
that stuff. When he retired, he took up Ataris and it nearly broke his 
heart when he couldn't go any further without switching to Mac or 
Windows. Windows won. Now, at the age of 87, he has a Vista-equipped 
desktop machine, a Linux machine he never uses, and a laptop. All for 
himself. He lives alone, and spends a good part of each day taking 
digital stereo pictures of the birds and squirrels outside his kitchen 
window (which is equipped with one-way glass) and playing with 
Photoshop. He claims it's too much trouble to learn GIMP. It isn't as 
easy to pick up new things as it used to be.

There is a whole slew of ElderGeeks around.

Cheers, and I do hope you get that file. It completely baffles me why 
those links work for me and not for you. Good luck finding your own way. 
A couple of days after Christmas, I'll upload that pdf file to 
sendthisfile.com and share the link. But it will only last three days 
there, so be ready to pounce.
