In my life I've been student, public library clerk, English teacher in public school, elementary teacher in private schools,card buyer for Logos Bookstore in Westwood, California, manager of Hallmark Card store in a mall, and home school mom. Currently I am a seller of books and resources for PreK-12 educators of all kinds. I like to blog on the side, and recently I've learned to Tweet on Twitter.

Barb, Thanks for reading my lens, you have a good strategy for the final vote, but now because unti-Mitt vote is split in 3, voting for no 2 or 3, it is actually a vote for Mitt. I responded more on the lens, but this is in a nut shell my idea.
Thanks so much.
Regards
Michey

Hello Barb,

Thank you for visiting my lens and for your question.

Yes. GIMP is originally for Unix and for MAC. The windows version is what I use. You can find information about the MAC version here gimp.org /macintosh

Thank you for your question. I will add this information to the tutorial page.

Blessings, Deb
