I get the bagged cereal too.  It's as good as the brand name and lots 
cheaper.  That box must cost a lot to make compared to a baggie.  lol

I do use GIMP a lot.  When I need to seriously edit a pic, scale, crop, 
or do other things then I use GIMP.  Most of the time tho, I just want 
to open a image and change the brightness so I can see something in it.  
I don't even save the change, I just view it.

Maybe I need a faster rig.  ;-)
