I bought my first computer in l980 with graphics in mind but there was nothing available much better than Windows Paint. Progressed through Fauve Matisse, PSP, Painter, Photoshop, grabbing Poser 1 when it first came out as an illustration aid. I was aiming to be the Grandma Moses of Computer Graphics. Nah, you're not too old, I think I'm the oldie here...on the shady side of 68.
