Graphics programs for, *ahem*, free

I desperately require a program/package/whateverthehellyouwanttocallit that I can use to make original graphics and logos...
...for free.
You know the sort I mean: CorelDraw, Paintshop Pro, and the like.
Does such a free program exist? What is it called, where can I download it, and, most importantly, will it render my computer completely shagged?

it's the graphics package of choice for a huge number of professionals, especially in web design.
and yes, it's completely free. GPL, in fact.

Freaky!
I am just this instant installing THE GIMP after an 11MB download. Is it good, then? (I should bloody hope so after about an hour and a half waiting for it to download, while the rest of the browser windows took about ten minutes each to load! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"> )
Thanks, though, because I was worried I wasn't downloading the right thing. I now feel a lot less worried!
it's very good. i've heard that the Windows version can be unstable at times, but incorporates the most important features of the gimp.
one more thing... the fact that it took you an hour and a half to download 11Mb begs the question: wtf speed connection are you on?!
good luck with the gimp! you'll like it when you get used to it!

Why, is my computer futuristically fast or abominably slow? <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
56k modem and Download Accelerator.
the latter.
although it might just seem that way cos i'm used to the lightning quick speeds of ntl (through an ntl line. copper wires were never meant for data). still the fastest and cheapest ISP in the world!
11Mb should take 40mins at the most on a 56k connection. or 3 minutes on an ntl cable modem! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">

Now, this sounds interesting:
I would love to get PSP 7 or Fireworks, but this "cracking" business sounds rather shady.
Perhaps you could elaborate, and explain whether I'd be likely to go to prison for several years if I was caught...?
cracking, piracy, software theft...
probably the biggest and baddest of computer crimes at the moment. yes, you would go to prison if you were caught. commercial software is sucking you dry.
persevere with the gimp, it's not hard when you get used to it

that's because on windows machines it's shite
ok, firstly u aint gonna get caught, they dont give a toss about one user cracking their software, that's not where their revenue comes in from, it's from schools and stuff doing that kinda thing
secondly, it's easy to do and not shady at all as long as u have basic knowledge of how to use winzip files, My Computer and thats about it
ur not goin to prison, they would :
1) confiscate ur PC
2) make you uninstall the software and maybe check back later to see if u reinstalled anything
that's if you ever get caught, who the fuck is going to ring the police and tell them and what police are going to give a crap???

This is exactly what I want!
And might I be prosecuted for illegal internet activity? Or just have my computer repossessed? <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">
neither will happen, stop being a fucking woss
who gives a shit that you have a copied piece of software? nobody, stop whinging and get cracking

No police force in the land would give a rat's dangly bits if you`ve got cracked software.
If you copied commercial software I leant to you I would report you. Same as I report anyone who sells smuggled ciggies.
probably too late to be useful.
Can anyone tell me where I can get a full copy of Sudden Strike (not demo) to download? I have a cable modem and im not afraid to use it!
