![]() ![]() If it truly is the task that some people make it out to be, maybe they need to take a basic mathamatics course at thier local community learning center. I find it amazing that 3rd graders have the nessesary skills, yet grown men, (and women), think that they cannot balance a checkbook because it is too hard. No need for multiplication or division, addition and subtraction is all one needs to know to balance thier checkbook. ![]() It is a sad state of affairs when one cannot perform simple math that a child in the 3rd grade could do. That is why the bank is good enough to give you a register with your checkbooks. It is not like basic addition and subtraction is hard. True, but if there are no authoring tools like Director …Īnd how have you found the applications you use now? The power of open source is that you can check many applications out at no cost. Quanta (and Nvu) are close and in a few points better.Īgreed, that applications are missing, but you could get a lot of the productivity of Fireworks using scripts in GIMP.Īnd Flash is usable with Codeweavers Wine. Sure there are some futures missing, but do not tell me that the artwork will be better because of that. Clone) that are not available in the apps you mentioned. ![]() Inkscape is fast in catching up and already has features (e.g. Have you tried gnucash? AFAIK it does almost the same that you describe. Synching up with your bank so you don’t have to manually go in and reconcile your account. You get ’s web site you can synch up with when you start up the application downloading the days stock quotes and other asset related information, updating all the info in your portfolio. When you use an application like Quicken you get more than just some replacement for a Checkbook register. ![]() Gimp3 will be a major rewrite and thus is going to have features that are not easy to be implemented in an existing, large app like photoshop. When they finally get most of the features in PhotoShop CS copied, PhotoShop will have advanced by another couple versions. GIMP will always be playing catchup to PhotoShop. But the part that sucks is having to do that search having to test the dozen or so apps to see if anything comes close to what you’ve been using all along. So, for some people sure if they search they can find something that might be close to what they want. People use their computers for stuff other than surfing, music, finances and e-mail. Print Shop, Calendar Creator, Card Creator softwareĪ good desktop publishing application for the community newsletter Software that teaches Spanish, French, Italian, etc. Software to manage your Will or other legal documents The Master Cook series which has a couple CD’s worth of Betty Crocker cookbooks, popular with some of the people in my classes along with other recipe software. Plus you have the little applications that have no good counterpart under Linux because some geek isn’t going to use his free time to create it. (Sodipodi is not in league with these apps) Illustrator, FreeHand, Canvas, Corel Draw for vector work. (Maya is on Linux but costs a lot and for some basic work is overkill compared to other apps, Blender 3D is not comparable to the items listed) I teach computer classes on the weekend, and there are lots of application out there people use that don’t have anything comparable on Linux:ģD Studio Max, Lightwave, Bryce, Amapi, Vue D’Sprit for 3D work. Plus their web site offers lots of information that will display within the application itself. Plus the thing to always remember is GIMP will always be playing catchup to PhotoShop. GIMP is no where near as good as PhotoShop for the hard core PhotoShop user. At the same time Linux advocates are always throwing out the same alternatives which are no where near as good as the Windows/Mac apps they try to copy. ![]()
