You can ask, but if you laugh at me, I'm going to smack you. The programs were Paint Shop Pro and Incredimail. At the time, (2006/2007?) I was doing a lot of graphics and email stationery creating. And don't even whisper about GIMP to me... it's about as far from PSP as you can get. (I don't like Photoshop either...). And for some reason Linux software devs have this unreasonable prejudice against stationery and full HTML support in email programs.... I LOVED Kmail, but not enough HTML support. You *can* technically make stationery for Thunderbird, but by the time you do, you might as well have created a complete webpage, and I'm spoiled. I like my handy dandy Letter Creator program that goes with Incredimail.
I figure my needs are esoteric enough that it shouldn't discourage anyone else from trying/learning Linux; I just never did find/get used to alternatives to those two programs.
Chris runs Linux (I think the current flavor is Arch), and has for eons. Windows drives him bananas, but he puts up with my running it . A sign of True Love, maybe?
