Is Windows becoming irrelevant 1212

I beg to differ. The GIMP users mailing list and newsgroup get questions on that matter, usually from recent Photoshop migrants. Just about anything is possible with the GIMP, either in the form of Photoshop plugins or Script-Python Fu. It just happens to be scattered all over the Web, so requires some quick searching.

Songbird is still young in terms of development. The lastest release is breastled "Proof of Concept" if I recall correctly. The Windows version was released first; the Mac and Linux versions were released just a fortnight or so ago. Cross-fadding is possible in both XMMS and AmaroK (I use both). In XMMS, this comes in the form of a plug-in:

I don't see why Songbird should struggle to implement such as easy feature. It's merely about volume mixing.

recently received all the finest-level maps from the Google Earth team. Google Maps is less about flash and more about portability and pragmaticism. It also predates Google Earth (Keyhole acquition).

Okay, but it does change the tune, doesn't it? *smile* We have at least reached a partial state of consent. Every excellent program for GNU-Linux is sense, Windows users have little to lose other than money to be spent on licences, the loss of security, and the increased need for maintenance (e.g. filesystem corrections, Registry bloat, occasional re-installation).

Best wishes,

Roy
