Subject: Re: going M$ free
I havent had a windows box in forever. I had to use a MAC for my Ipod (I
know ipod is the devil) but recently discovered Clementine so now I can add
music through gtk apps :). I cant think of one thing I miss, except maybe
photoshop. That said without getting in to fanboyisms of gimp vs photoshop,
gimp works great for most tasks.
