Shlomi Fish,

Thank you for your reply. After I get my budget back on track (GIMP may be free, but music gear is most 
certainly not haha), I will gladly make a donation. I know several friends who use it consistently as well. 
Happy New Year to you too!

I'm glad you like GIMP and found it useful. I believe the GIMP developers will appreciate a donation, but, 
naturally, you are not obligated to make one.

Good luck, and Happy New Year!

Thanks for the link. I downloaded the album (without paying) and I am going to listen to it. If I like it 
enough, then I may make a donation.
