Update prior to Session One

Stuff you get...

...won't arrive by tomorrow. It would be better if it did, but we'll get along fine without it. I'm going to suggest that everyone download a fully-functional evaluation copy of PaintShop Pro sometime during our two sessions, to iron out any problems downloading and to have something to practice on. You can download it from

the company or

the \\alsrvr0\alcommon\ drive (Y: drive?) under the "graphics tools\graphics
