Hi Frits,
seems there is one application less to worry about: Girotel. I've been happily using the Internet version for over a year now. The only reason I can think of not wanting to use the web-version is maybe security. For me that doesn't count because I never have any money on this account (nor on any other account) ;-) And for Photoshop: you must be a professional "imager", dealing with printshops etc. when you decided the Gimp wasn't "there" yet?
regards, Marcel Marcel,
I don't use the web based Girotel, because it doesn't download my account transfers and stores that on my PC, as far as I understand that from what I read from the documentation. That is the big advantage for me of using the PC version. I think the web based version does the same thing as my Barclays web based online banking does. Gimp is nice, but is not there yet, it doesn't handle 16 bit colour depth yet, and I found a few other issues as well. Groetjes uit de UK, Frits Wüthrich
