What is this... - Barb P

I naively purchased the MacGimp download - Archie now calls the product "MacGimp:"a few weeks ago, paying $29.95.Found that the software was an older version of Gimp.app and Gimpshop which are free.
Mislead by an article written by a Mac Gimp expert in which this product was described. The author did not admit that Archei IS his company! He was pushing his own product..
There was NO value added to Archei's product so I cannot justify the "sales price".

And , when I ran into a problem ( did not realize that this "complete package" still needed me to install X11), the email and telephone contact information on the Archie web site was useless; email address was broken and I never received a call back when leaving a message on the un business like voice mail.
