You betcha... posting to gsas-member directly now...

The Gimp is homed at http://www.gimp.org
Gimp for Windows has its home at http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/
and this in turn points you to this site http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/
which actually has stuff you can install easily under Windows.  I'm trying 
it right now while I type just to see if works.  Normally I just use the 
Linux/Unix version.

My little stitching demo is on http://mystery.thekrib.com at the moment.

The AGA Aquascaping contest is at http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org
Entry fee is cheap, and I will be personally happy to come over and 
photograph anyone's aquarium for the contest.  The thing that's so cool 
about the AGA Contest is that it features folks from beginner to advanced, 
and the styles are very different.  Deadline is September 15th.

The AGA site is http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org, and this is where you 
can get two of the books I mentioned: Aquarium Plants Handbook (an AGA 
exclusive) and Tropica's book (which is also available elsewhere).

The AGA is also holding convention in Dallas the weekend of November 14th,
featuring Christel Kasselmann (author of the $70 book I mentioned --
available on amazon or other places), Karen Randall (here last June & who
will be in Portland for their show in October), Roger Miller, George
Booth, Tom Barr and a bunch of other speakers.  This convention is *the* 
place to hang out with major plant geeks.

Aqua Design Amano's home is http://www.adana.co.jp but their site has 
notoriously little information in English, especially about their contest.  

The Aquatic Plants Digest's home is http://fins.actwin.com/aquatic-plants

And yes,I can now say that  installing Gimp for Windows from the third 
site I listed works 
great!  You have to install both pieces (first gtk, then gimp), but 
otherwise it comes right up.
