Pleasure to see the other digitizers milling about. I used to be a DevArt back in the day (also was at GFX and a few others). Everywhere you go, you learn more and the repertoire continues to expand.
I've grown fond of using Opera as my browser of choice ~ I have an absolutely unlimited disdain for IE (which I refer to as Internet Exploder for good reasons). I used Firefox for a while, but that was on my other system that has since gotten a bad attitude and crashed *sad.panda.dance*
I cut my digital teeth using PaintShop, but I must confess I'm glad I forced myself to learn to use Photoshop as my main program. It's like trading in a bicycle for a Maserati

Still, though, there's a few things I find a little more convenient to do in PaintShop, so I still keep it around.
