I downloaded these plus "CameraBag" last night and wonder if they are worth going to the trouble of all the new learning curves.
I figure I barely sleep now, I might as well have more to do while I'm awake?
Anyone?

The first two I often use. Prior to getting Corel 14, Inkscape was my trace method. I think they're amazing for being free. Way more capable than the rinky dink software that comes with a piece of equipment. They have different options than my other software, and that's handy on occasion. I got more into them when I was teaching an art class to a group of homeschool students. The course introduced different means of expression, including graphic arts. I wasn't sure what the students had at home, so using free software gave everyone the same ability. One of the students showed up at class with an amazing re-do of a photo. In it was a before and after of a Golden Retriever puppy in a wire kennel. The after shot was the puppy on the outside of the fence. He had carefully replaced all the chain link with the different fur colors. Whenever I meet someone with a digital camera, but no serious editing software, I give them a copy of GIMP. I carry it on a flashdrive. All in all, I think they're really cool projects, -and- easy to install on Linux, if you're into that sort of thing.

Not on your list but I use Open Office and it works great. Lots of nice open source software available.

Using Open Office and CamUnzip here with no problems ever.

Dale, perhaps you need a "sleep" program?
I've never heard of any of those, but thanks for the tip.
