Thanks for the tip, Bob. When we were there, we had a pretty tight schedule, as we were on our way to Bath, the Cotswalds and Wales, so we couldn't do that. I was actually underwhelmed by Stonehenge, and didn't think it nearly as interesting a Newgrange in Ireland. Dan On Sun, Jun 22, 2008 at

I'm fairly ignorant in regard to operating systems, so my comment may be misguided. PhotoShop Elements comes free with a lot of hardware, but it doesn't run on LInux. I don't happen to have a free install at the moment, but someone else on the list might. Of course it doesn't run under Linux.
