Re: [Gimp-user] Potential New User Questions

[Pete Wright <pnwright gmail com>]

Hi, Lauren
You should be aware that when you start getting to know GIMP you will soon
be doing far more than what you have listed here, because it is fun and
GIMP will arouse and feed your creative energies.
Only the periodic frustrations (GIMP, after all, runs on a computer and
computers are just full of "malicious obedience") will save you from
becoming  a hopelessly addicted wirehead.
So proceed with caution, and have fun!
