FaCEBOOK / Corel painter

I've got a new addiction- facebook. Hope it lasts as long as the blog(s) did.
No- seriously, all this stuff sucks time away from me-? Social interaction. We are herd animals...meanwhile I have less and less time completing what I start.
Next time I'll talk a bit about "painter" by Corel, a program I have been trying out. Short review? I don't think it is what I want. I'd rather use a new version of Photoshop, but hey that's a lot of money... It is very slow, has way too much stuff on it (or at least makes it look like it does). Lots of whistles...I like functional to the point programs better.
