Re: Some Success with Gimp

[Herb Johnson <hjohnson@pluto.njcc.com>]

Congrats on your success with the Gimp for Windows. Where
did you download it, Tom? I might note that I've found my
Kodak DC215 digital camera very useful and with adequate resolution
(about 1000 by 800 max, I generally use it at 600 x 800). For about
$300 it pays for itself in time and film, and Win95 sees it as
just another disk drive (a TWAIN device actually) when connected
to the serial port.
