Spare time

[Mccool]

Well here I am sitting on the computer with nothing better to do and thought that I'm going to be doing this for a whole nother week because its half term, so i was wondering what people on gamebanshee do in their spare time, if they have any at all, which they obviously do concidering they still have time to post on the forums but still, is it just workworkworkworkworkworkworkworkworkgambansheework workworkworkworkwork, but anyway i have nothing to do and all this free time so i i also wondered (keeping in mind we all are different but some of could be um......less different) if we were told what each person does would it look the (near eneough) same for some people depending on their age and stuff like that? My time this week is going to be spent watching cartoons on the 42 inch flat screen plasma, it will be so much fun , that and being on the computer for hours at a time. Maybe some drawing as well and trying to build up 364 pounds for a photoshop system for my computer.

Yes, that's pretty much it

It's also the reason why I've been posting quite a lot lately - contrary to popular belief, a lot of work means long hours in front of the computer, and because I can't work non-stop for hours on end and take breaks during which I post at GB.

edit: I was wondering, what is this 'photoshop system' you speak of? Is it a system (meaning computer) fast enough to run photoshop, or is it Photoshop itself?

Making an exam next tuesday. After that? Probably working for one or two days.
If neither of the two would be available in my spare time () playing the computer or playing a sport with friends would be an option. Ohh yeah, spending an afternoon looking for new clothes ones in a while aint such a bad idea either

It costs $610 on amazon.com and £490 on amazon.co.uk. I was initially confused because you used the term 'photoshop system' which might indicate a computer dedicated to Photoshop, but because PS doesn't have huge computer demands I was unsure.
Anyway, you might want to look into GIMP which is a free alternative. It's mostly got the same features (it won't make a difference if all you use it for is to color drawings), even though most professionals say photoshop is better. I've used both and haven't noticed any difference, but 1) I didn't look very deep into GIMP and 2) I don't really tap all of the programs' features so I'm not able to analyize it completely (I mostly did some manipulation of layers... not that hard).
The one advantage Photoshop has, is that it is used by everyone so finding resources for it (brushes, tutorials, books, etc..) is extremely easy. Usually those resources can be useful for GIMP too, but since the programs aren't 100% identical, using PS makes understanding them easier. Whether that is worth $600, is up to you.
Also: check your PMs.
