I dumped Adobe completely several years ago, and found that Pixelmator has been an excellent Photoshop replacement. It even now does vector images - used to use an app called Graphic for that (for an Illustrator replacement), but should now be able to do all of that from Pixelmator.

I miss the heyday of BBSs and IRC. That’s when the internet was fun, and tinkering brought new discoveries every day. Now it’s mostly just annoying.
