Creepy Chris Ahlstrom: "Yeah, everyone who wants to manipulate images

That's 4 for 4 whining on money, yet we're somehow supposed to believe
that no Linux fanboy considers cost a factor on Linux 'superiority';

Hint: *everyone* factors cost into what they decide to purchase, or not.

At my job they would get you a license for Photoshop or Adobe Pro if you asked
for it and had a business. I saved them some money using GIMP, which runs
