I just ordered my new 'main' computer. It's not getting any cheaper, and I know which one I want.

Stuff will take a while, so prepare to see me really squee near the end of next week.

I guess PaintShopPro7 won't be talking to Windows 7 for real now. So it'll be the Gimp for me, but according to people, it's no longer a cryptic compile-it-yourself thing, but behaves like a normal application.

Prepare to see me curse the Gimp until I get the hang of it for a bit, though. But unlike the last time, my 'old' laptop (which I am on now) isn't dead, just very, very elderly with a concatenation of known problems of the peripheral/hardware kind. So I can screencap and icon the material for the Morningstar-Manor!AU!Urquhart on this computer if the Gimp really, really doesn't like me, and/or PowerDVD really, really isn't free any more.-

Yes, I've been using it for a while to make most of my icons. It works well for my lack of graphics knowledge.

I really should save up though and get myself a nice paint thing since I have a student discount.
