Sorry to shy away from the opportunity to give a presentation on the
Gimp, but I feel that I'm *NOT* the best person to do this.  While I've
improved my knowledge of its use having read 'Grokking the Gimp' I'm
certain I couldn't do the software justice considering the interest such
a presentation is likely to create.  However, I am willing to work with
others to create a presentation which someone more comfortable with
public speaking could present.

Also, I'll put more effort into finishing the Vim tutorial I've often
talked about.  Which I intend to give over an IRC meet to enable people
to try out the various commands etc as they are given.  It also means I
don't have to stand in front a sea of faces! ;)

Still, back to nappy changing!

Al
