the Treo, which is smaller than the Sidekick I was also carrying.
Really? That seems like it isn't so, but I suspect it's just because the screen on the Treo is bigger.
Or at least looks bigger.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

What is a good choice of free graphic program for the person with no artistic talent? Ideally can do easy transformation of a drawing into a transparent gif, the ability to combine multiple graphics into a single montage or whatever you call it, some hue corrrection ability, and some smoothing and error correction abilities. In other words photoshop lite (or whatever they call the $30 version of photoshop these days) except for free. Anything like that out there? Anything close?
Thanks -signed
Set out to make Christmas cards, and found out my old version of photoshop won't install on my new machine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think there's a Gimp for Windows, TB.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Paint Shop Pro has a free 30 day trial period. In the old days, you could continue to use it well beyond the trial period, but I don't think so anymore. It's actually a pretty sophisticated program, closer to Photoshop than Photoshop Lite.
Also, there's the open source program The Gimp. It's available for Windows, Linux and the Mac, but the Mac version requires The X Windowing System (X11 or Xfree 86) installed. It's very powerful and (I think) not as easy to use as Paint Shop Pro.

I have a question for the hivemind. I'm trying to teach my graphite iMac new OSX tricks. I can't remember the keyboard combo that will add a program to the Dock. Anybody know?

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm not sure if there is one, I just drag an application to the dock, and it adds it to the dock. Drag it away to remove it.

Aha! Found it...
"You can also add an application by Control-clicking (right-clicking) on its icon, while running, and choosing the "Keep in Dock" option."
